Permissible or Right?

Writers often sounded ethereal and strange when describing their process, or piece, as something that allowed them no rest until it was expressed and released. Interestingly enough, it's 2017, I am now a writer, and the question rattling around in my head, allowing me no rest is this; if something is permissible, should we automatically assume that it is right? 

For example, President Trump's weapon of choice is Twitter when it comes to acting on his right to freedom of speech. Although he is permitted to express an opinion (or many bizarre, sometimes comical, unfiltered comments) on that platform, is that right when the possible consequences include; the threat of nuclear war with North Korea, a barrage of contradictions from the White House Press, and apathy over the value of human lives in disaster struck areas such as Puerto Rico or Las Vegas?

The point is that as a society we view permission as something which is or is not allowed, by means of social gluing or ungluing. This is an important consideration, given the fact that as a collective, we need to share this planet in ways that perpetuate our existence as a whole, instead of furthering self-interest. As for what is right, we either associate it with moral judgment, or expect rightness to course along an invisible scale of worthiness and unworthiness. British comedian and actor, Russell Brand puts it this way:

Perhaps I have been watching too much news of late, but even on social media the pervasive sense, and continued discussion over what we should permit and what is right has taken centre-stage in the concert of Global Affairs. To some degree the conversations are driven by those who thrive on fear-mongering as a means to control the masses through suggestion and influence. Though what seems more accurate is that worldwide, we are beginning to admit that we may be wrong about the things we were certain we knew. Naturally this cognitive dissonance has stretched us to the point where as we search ourselves and the world around us for what it means to be human, we are also looking for redefinition of what was familiar so as to get back to a place where internally we feel fine. 

 At Corporate Earth we care about simplifying the semantics, because words matter, but only as far as their meaning is correctly understood, shared and acted upon.
