Most of them have made wrong choices, but at the time,and with a good excuse great masses have applauded some of the worst things.
Excerpts from the FRINGE OF IDEAS BY @joseantpp.
These words struck me not just personally,but because the society today has become a 'fringe of ideas' in a way.
Find an excuse and it's justifiable.
Control the narrative and you get yourself fans...even if what you're doing is wrong.
The world today can be summed up into one sentence
A Fringe of Ideas!!

He really writes some good freewrites. I am glad you recommended him. 👍💖
I recommend this reading, because it talks about how hard life is for some of our colleagues, and how our relatives behave and the positions they take, which often annoy us and make us sour.
I think @wakeupkitty's life is worth reading because it reveals what she thinks and the daily world she faces.
The world is not easy, but thanks to these communities, some authors find an oasis to express ourselves, and she achieves it very easily when she tells us about her life.

Thank you. Prompt "Fringe" is used.
I recommend 'Horse race' by @reinaldoverdu
https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@reinaldoverdu/the-horse-race-a-freewrite
I can actually relate to the feeling of wanting something so bad but one thing especially age stands in your way. Then the joy that come with being able to do and have what you've yearned for, all these time. I love his writings and his stories seem very realistic always. Once is left to wonder whether they are truly fictions or not.
This freewrite is taken from an experience I had, and in this particular case it is not a fiction. I was at the racecourse and I have those beautiful memories, by the way my cousin who accompanied me, suffers from mental retardation, is 70 years old but thinks like a 15-year-old boy. At the time we went to the racecourse he was about 50 years old and I was about 20 Which makes me reflect how much time has passed and I keep remembering those moments.
Thank you for your support, I feel committed to moving forward! :)
Wow! About your cousin though, hope he's getting the necessary help and care he needs?
My 1st recommendation (I hope to read more) is @botefarm with "Remembering My Governor : A Sports Freewrite".
It's hard to say if this poem is about sport like the title suggests or politics. To me it feels more like politics.
This poem gives the reader something to think about and next to the tragedy the way it's written it managed to make me smile. @botefarm I envy you a bit about this entry. Kudos 👍
https://steemit.com/hive-167622/@botefarm/remembering-my-governor-a-sports-freewrite
It's actually about Sport. And the story behind the poem was real. A sitting state governor played Polo and fell off then died.
The link to the whole thing is under the post.
Thanks for the recommendation.
With love from Planet Jupiter.
.
participate!! You have been a freewriter for a long time. We love to see you here!
I understood it was about a real event that happened.
Another free write that I'll recommend is still by the same author @reinaldoverdu 'Fringe'
https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@reinaldoverdu/the-fringe-freewrite
I like the definition he used for fringe as limits or limitations. Of a truth in some areas, limits or boundaries ought to be respected as they are there for a reason even though we may not see the need for it or agree with the limits set. I like the fact that he ended by saying that one thing we shouldn't put a limit on is learning. To remain relevant, continuous learning is very essential.
Do make out time to read it for yourself.
It is very nice to know that you read my contents and that you understand what I express, that motivates me to continue working as a writer, because I take many things from my life and turn them into fictions to educate my audience.
Thanks for recommending me!
You are very much welcome.
Thank you. We hope you take the time to read other freewrites too. There are more freewriters.
A new freewriter and even the very first Freewrite of this author I like to recommend to you.
Prompt used: build a wall.
https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@inthegreen/build-a-wall-5-minute-free-write
@inthegreen writes how it can be helpful even necessary to build a wall. A wall to protect yourself against other people. Those who harm you and are undermining you the unique person you are, your inner self and health.
Welcome to the FreeWriters @inthegreen. Your message is clear and you give the reader something to consider. 👍🍀❤️
Thanks for the shout-out!
My 1st recommendation is 'Black Sheep' by @reinaldoverdu.
https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@reinaldoverdu/black-sheep-my-5-minutes-freewrite
This poem clearly depicts what goes on in life. It's very easy to label someone a black sheep but then when that person decides to take a right path, people hardly recognise because the bad name and reputation already sticks. So the black sheep continues to remain so not minding that he has dropped those negative lifestyles.
Sorry, you can not recommend this freewrite. It is an old prompt plus been recommended last week.
You need to recommend a new freewrite like explained.
So find a freewrite with the latest promlts, this week's prompts provided by @mariannewest.
You can find the links underneath her posts and by looking in the community freewriters after you clicked on "new".
Sunday prompt: horse races
Monday prompt: fringe
Good luck.
@felixgarciap stepped out of our common place world with his freewrite for the prompt grey. In it, he tells of an energizing and anti-aging infusion that drew a businessman into a secluded forest monastery. The author's imagination takes an unusual turn, and the businessman's fate was sealed there. Go see for yourself!
