"大多数人并不是真的希望别人拥有言论自由,他们只是希望别人能说出自己想听的话。"

Simplified Meaning:

People often say they support free speech, but what they really want is for others to say things they agree with. If someone says something they don't like, they might try to shut them up or ignore them. For example, imagine a group of friends talking about their favorite sports teams. As long as everyone likes the same team, they get along well. But if one person says they prefer a different team, the others might get upset and not want to listen. This tells us that true free speech means accepting and listening to opinions we disagree with, not just the ones we like. If you want to apply this idea to your life, try to be open-minded and listen to all opinions, even if you don't agree with them.
