Are there any limits on our freedom of expression?

Some goverments say we are free to do as we please, within acceptable limits, enforced by police, military and other special units. Some goverments restrict our freedom sometimes to an unacceptable level, in which even dress code, rights, morale, religion and everything is strictly controlled. But where do our rights start and begin?

I have read and been told uncountable times that our rights end where another being’s begin. Technically if we followed that politic, we would find ourselves unable to kill another animal, shout or insult another individual when this might derive a psychological impact on that person, etc.

There have been many attempts at trying to control behaviour, expression and communication via the implementation of laws of all kinds and flavors. In an attempt to be ever changing, ever progressing beings we have tried to become sistematic beings following law codes established by those believed to be “superior” or hold administrative positions, in companies, in courtrooms, in the goverment, etc.

Personally, I think life in the end is a constant battle between what we are told to do, and what we want to do. A battle for equillibrium. Sometimes a hard one for those who really want to express themselves freely and push their supposed limits.
