Whenever I feel that my freedom of expression is being infringed upon, it's usually because my hazy thoughts are unable to get around the tyranny of grammar and syntax.

My poor writing skills oppress me more than other humans.

In counterargument, I invoke the aphorism by François de La Rochefoucauld, "Hypocrisy is a tribute that vice pays to virtue." If human beings find it impossible to embody a virtue with perfect integrity, does it follow that they should stop calling it a virtue? I don't believe so. Why shouldn't our ethical reach exceed our grasp?
