There are plenty of people who want to be politically correct in all that they do and say, or further to the point, make it their abiding principle that they are politically correct in all that they do and say. To the degree by doing so, they are true to what they truly believe and are consistent with that belief by their actions privately and publicity, there can’t be much of a complaint by others of their behavior, for any time a person is true to themselves, then they are thus not false to others. That said, it has to be noted, that there are plenty of people who are politically correct or desire to be perceived as being politically correct who are “apeing” the lines but are doing so primarily because of perceived social convention, combined with the fear that to express their true feelings might get them in some sort of trouble, or cause them to lose face.
Look, it has to be emphasized, that what we believe to be the truth of our perceptions, should be what we should express to one another, though not in a dogmatic or narrow-minded way, but rather as an expression of what we believe. Though we may well be mistaken about a given subject, we are entitled to our opinion, which may or may not have been formulated with enough pertinent information to come to a sensible conclusion; yet, it is our opinion, and when expressed, those that supposedly know better are provided with the opportunity to correct what has been perceived as being wrong, if they are so inclined, by expressing their counterpoint individual perspective, which itself may also be distorted or wrong. In other words, communication with one another should be done in a manner in which we say what we have to say without overtly worrying whether or not it pleases the other or offends the other, but rather as our expression of what we believe, without self-censorship or compromise. Indeed, by so doing, this permits the free expression of ideas and thoughts, of which, not every idea or thought has merit or is correct in its substance, but we are entitled to express these, especially when done so in a sincere way.
To believe that somehow the better part of valor is to always shut our mouth, and to keep our opinions to ourselves except when we are among either very open-minded people or true friends or good family is to betray our freedom of thought and of speech, for the supposed greater good of society. While civil discourse teaches us that there are certain people who are so adamant in their opinions that to confront them reasonably is an exercise that may well result in lost friendships, hurt feelings, or ugly confrontations, we should though recognize that closed minds that have no interest in a truly open forum of free-thinking, aren’t the type of people that we should necessarily be transparent with because it doesn’t serve any good purpose, because those that are fixated that they are in the right, and all else must therefore line up per their perception of political correctness are the very same, that believe that labels trump our individuality and care not to hear anything that contradicts this.
