Is blogging good or bad? Lately, there are many entries about personal blogs and the opinions about blogging. So does blogging equal personal voice? Is it really a useful tool to voice out your thoughts and opinions, just like how a diary works? Is it because it is online and that anyone can access it mean that we have to caution ourselves on the things we say? Does that mean we are not allowed to talk about other people? Does it then mean that blogging equals to gossiping or bitchin rather than personal voice? Is it also then right for people to slam you if you do write about them on your blog?
Well... i am kinda affected by what is happening lately. I am a true believer that blogging equals to personal opinions, isn't that why i signed up for an account? But unfortunately i do censor some stuff, so i won't in any attempt hurt anyone's feelings. But i really want too sometimes... coz i need an outlet to vent my frustrations. and hey.. isn't blogging an area for us to just shout out (electronically) and feel better letting our feelings out? If not.. then please tell me what is blogging for then?
Also... is it right to mention names in blogs? I mean.. if it's personal voice, shldnt it be right to mention names then? Do you write BOY A OR GIRL B did this or that on your written diary? No right? Well.... i am not sayin u have to write names.... but if it''s seriously necessary... why not right? It is afterall our opinions.
I think blogging really does affect many individuals. But sometimes i don't agree to some ways being responded to blogs. I still believe face-to-face interaction is better to settle conflicts then bombarding online. It sickens me more to see people posting comments as anonymous. Conflicts cannot be settled if you are not made known. Isnt the point of raising issues mean to show who u are... so that things can be solved? Also.. i truly feel religion shld stay out when making comments. No one.. and i really mean no one has the right to call who a bad christian, muslim, hindu or buddhist. More so, it isn't right to slander the church, mosque or temple. Do not blame religion for issues. People are human beings, and human beings are no saints. Does it mean that u lie, means your church taught u to lie? Reflect. It is only God, Allah, whichever hindu God or Buddha that has that right to say whether u've been good or bad.
Well... my two cents are up. I wish everyone can settle issues in the most mature and compromised solution. I truly believe that no one person shld gain from any conflict, but that the involved parties gain as well. Compromise.
