Whoa..

Disappear for a couple of days ..

and come back to find

the whole of blogsphere in chaos

I really think its getting a bit too ridiculous

don't you?

all this judging

criticising

accusations

insults

barbed comments

acidic sarcasm

popularity bids

and

cheap shots

We chose to blog

as a

medium to express our

thoughts

secrets

ideas

fantasy or reality.

Whether just to recount your day

or

ponder what interests you

whether to amuse

others

or

yourself.

fact or fiction

bitch

whine

complain

rant

or even write about

where

you wine and dine.

Happy or sad

humourous, trivial or serious.

We chose this medium because

it allows freedom of speech.

Yet it's because of that very reason

freedom of speech

that people are falling out all over the place.

When I read about someone else's life,

their story

I don't judge.

Because what would the world be

if we weren't all different

in what makes us tick?

Some are just more open

more liberated

than others.

That's the bit that's interesting isn't it?

the different nuances

that make us all who we are

individuals

with unique

voices

opinions

and

point of views

Some will bare their breasts

and some wont

some will like it

and some will balk at it:

at the end of the day

it's their lives.

Why do we find each other so intriguing?

Because each person tells an original story

because we find these differences(or similarities)

entertaining

endearing

funny

sad

touching

horrifying

distasteful

most of all,... engaging.

and yet when it skews slightly

and doesnt suit your mindset

so quick to criticise,

point the finger.

Remember why we started this in the first place,

freedom of speech.

To

encourage expression

stimulate creativity

not to censure

or knock other people with disparaging remarks.

We should,

in an ideal blogging world

be able to

say, do and show

whatever the fuck we want to

that's what blogs are for.

It's just interesting to see

that despite

claiming to be more liberated,

open-minded and accepting

of so much,

some of us really aren't.

Who would have thought?

Even in cyberspace.

Other people's lives

are theirs.

If what they do or say

is not to your taste

then

just move on,

but for chrissakes

learn to accept

that some people

just see things differently

and what you deem

right

or wrong

isn't necessarily true.
