Observation: Few things drown creativity faster than self-censorship.
I don’t mean that we’re free to say whatever comes to mind, or do what we like regardless of the consequences. We often think silly thoughts and act in foolish ways. We should be self-disciplined and restrained in our speech and actions. That’s maturity working in context.
Self-censorship is the fearful editor that squelches our expression of our convictions. Self-censorship weighs the opinions of “those people” above all else. Self-censorship is moral cowardice.
