life in the darkness

I was reading the news and came across this interesting and thought provoking article, by a psychiatrist Dr Max Pemberton. HE was asking the question, whether safe spaces should be allowed and why in his view, they are damaging to today’s society. In my view, I believe that we should be able to have debates on matters that provoke political responses and people should allow this. They should not, attack others, for stating their opinions, either based on facts, or theirpersonal views. For example, certain songs nowadays, are classed as offensive, or that people who have disabilities who encounter people congratulajing them, for doing something they did not think the person could do, are now being shouted at and called ableist. The challenge for me is how do you know you’re offending people, when no one explains things to you before hand. You cannot please everyone. As I struggle with social interaction online, I would appreciate it, if people could guide me in a discussion, so as not to offend others, without realising. I do think however, some people are too sensitive at times. Here is the article by Dr Pemberton. I hope you find it interesting and as thought provoking as I did. I may not agree with some of his views, but I found it interesting none the less. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10201259/DR-MAX-PEMBERTON-Safe-space-thats-thing-university-be.html
