What stops you from speaking out?

[osho]

We are not communicative enough. There are restraints on us-social, moral, familial and the like and we do not speak up the way we choose to or the way the urge for it pops up inside us. Something censors us. We cannot afford immodesty and we choose to please every one we are related to. For instance when I write something, say about sex, or something that goes discordantly I will be taken in check by my people.
What about you?

An open corporation is the long lasting solution for the spirit (being and existence) as well as for the other reality of business in the material, i.e., factual areas. Speak up.

I chose to say. Speaking out is for those who don't listen ie they speak unconvinced and so they feel they have to speak out.
No need to beat around the bush. Make your declaration and move on. The reason for this is by declaration you made a statement which means you took it upon yourself to state something that only you is hold of The listener either picks it up or leave it either way the decision made is to no avail because the ultimate word is with the person who made the declaration first. It is a one way situation no contract no witness no nothing so it is best to keep it brief and mean it. ;)
It is a bit like intellectual property only the property is declared and the intellectually is the declarer ie the words that stated the property.

I don't like talking a lot, I don't need to speak to show how smart or funny I am or to get some point across. I know my thoughts and that is enough for me.
