What to Blog?
July 15th, 2008When it comes to blogging, I have always preferred to blog about issues that are on my mind….things I have questions about, things I want to discuss. In a way it is a sounding board for new ideas, opinions and views. In this sense, blogging has made me who I am…shaped my opinions, developed them, introduced new ideas. Through other bloggers I feel that I have been exposed to many many realities…obviously not total existences but certainly snapshots of other people’s problems, dreams and being.
Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, this method of blogging demands constant questioning, a constant need to know. I guess you could say a dissatisfaction with things as they are or accepted reasoning…this can lead to many problems. Some bloggers encounter this in terms of political clashes with the government, most encounter occasional hostility from readers and some may find that blogging impacts their personal lives. Which begs the question: Is it worth it?
I most certainly believe it is worth it…for me there is nothing worse than merely excepting life as it is. It limits us and stops us developing personally and as a society. What we are doing as bloggers may seem insignificant initially however you just don’t know which post, which sentence you write, which comment you leave can make a world of difference to someone out there…
