Rights and responsibilities

Our lives are defined by the rights we have and the duties or responsibilities that we owe towards our fellow human beings. Every right has a corresponding duty. One man's right is another's duty and neither can exist in isolation.
Freedom of speech is a fundamental right a man possesses and the same right has certain corresponding duties like duty not to hurt another with one's speech. While on one hand, the freedom of press is a benchmark of knowing how liberal a country's government and policies are, on the other hand the imposition of certain restrictions or liabilities ensures that no person is hurt because of that speech.
As pen is mightier than sword, words written by a pen can cause more irreparable damage than the deeds from sword.
