I dropped by Metal Ear’s place and found a very interesting post worth reading about Blogging.
What’s my two cents in blogging? Well at first I ventured into blogging as a means of release to my chaotic mind. But as time goes (it’s almost years now) it evolved really more of an expression of yourself as a whole. Your “Inner Voice” as Jhun Billote of Metal Ears have mentioned is also an appropriate term.
There are lots of bloggers now, I think it has populated rapidly because people has so much to share. I think each and every one of us has that inner desire “to be heard”. And Blogging is one way to “Voice Out” no matter what thoughts or ideas we have. No restrictions!
Some may argue that blogging is nothing more that garbage, as people can just create stories or events or an identity truly apart from themselves. Well it is up to the reader wether they would accept everything this person has said in his or her blog. The internet may be full of information, but it is also full of lies as well.
And as a blogger, it is also their choice which information they would like to share. It doesn’t matter. As long as it is the person’s expression. Wether he want his life to be truly transparent or made up. To end this post. I’d like to quote Jhun’s last paragraph. Because I think this is a very important fact as well:
“The most striking thing about blogging is “meeting” a lot of “virtual friends”, accepting their existence and trying to learn from them. It has been surprising to discover how people connect with each, how they think, how they react, how each one walks in when the world walks out. Indeed, though mysterious, life is not so lonely after all…” – Metal Ears
