We, humans, are born with two rights: the right to live and to freedom of speech. There is nobody in the world that can stop us from thinking, saying, or doing what we want. We are free. We should not limit ourselves worrying about what others would think. I have always said to my most beloved friends: “I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.” Humanity should speak with truth; humanity should not be afraid of expressing their feelings or emotions. Defending the truth is not our obligation or our necessity to avoid guilt, it is a reward that we give to ourselves. All my life I have been in love with the idea of truth, and, I believe, truth has rewarded me. To represent the world is the work of human race; people describe it from their own point of view. A big problem is created after this; men then confuse their perspectives with the absolute truth. A great example of freedom of expression and defending truth is homosexuality. This sexual desire is as limited as heterosexuality. The ideal should be to love a woman or man, whatever our choice is. It is our right to choose to love either genre of human beings. We shall not feel fear, restraint, or obligation. We must not hide our thoughts, our feelings, or our emotions. We were born free and we must live free. If I love a woman or a man, it should not affect anybody. There is nothing to judge in freedom of expression. It is always ethical to speak freely, as long as we express the truth.
-Simone de Beauvoir a.k.a. Fabiola Monterroso

Simone de Beauvoir's opinion about the freedom of expressing ourselves, is very valid and I totally agree. We should be able to talk and not being afraid of expressing what we feel. Nobody should judge my opinion, we can speak freely in all cases, we were born free and we should speak free.Feelings and emotions should expressed always.
