Why does humanity think it has a right to comfort?

Mentally and physically

I understand I should respect the feelings of others

But humans can be offensive

Knowingly and unknowingly

What is a safe place?

Are you so insecure that a discussion feels like an offense?

Am I giving up my right for the sake of safety?

Oh wait.                                                        I don't have a choice

Don't hurt her feelings

Don't hurt his feelings

Don't use pronouns

Please be politically correct

You're a racist

You're a bigot

You're a homophobe

Is it another's responsibility to protect your emotions?

In the safe place your ideas lose value

No room for constructive criticism

No room for genuine disagreements in the safe place

"Those who give up Liberty for security deserve neither."
