What is a blog? I say it’s something personal that you want to share in public. But I guess having a blog connotes a great responsibility from the blogger that must never be overlooked. A blog must be interesting and entertaining so readers would visit your blog over and over again. But again, interest and entertainment should be free from exploitation or ridicule of any form. Like what they say, freedom is not absolute. That is because, if you exercise your freedom and someone is hurt or damaged then that is not freedom. Why am I writing this? Well for one, as I examined some blogs here, I observed certain visible commonalities. They use their blogs to hurt someone. They use their blogs to instill hate, shame and anger towards someone I am not sure they had the chance to meet in person and have spent some time to know the person well. They base their judgments on merely exchange of words over the net. They obviously forget that the cyber world nurtures a lot of people dealing with different problems and finds the net as a solace and as an outlet to release their insecurities, frustrations and temperaments whatsoever.
I still have lots of things to say but I am not in the mood now to talk about it. Yet I am pretty sure I have made my point. So the next time a blogger neophyte starts an entry, I hope he/she ponders well what good things he/she can write about. An entry is not read based on intellectual content. I’d say just write from the heart. Use simple and honest words. I’m sure any good-natured soul with the purest intention of reading good and honest stuff would be entertained and enlightened by your entry. Smile. You don’t need to be a prolific writer to be a blogger. I for one is not. Prudence, honesty and passion are the key to a blog worth-reading. A blessed day!
