The point of writing.
It's said that the point of blogging is to be be able to say the things that you want to say. But what is the point of it if you cannot say at all what you would like to say the most. If you have to be "Politically Correct" all the time, what is the freaking use of this space.
If I have to be mindful of people all the time then why speak my mind ?! (I know it's incorrect to have a question mark and exclamation point, but I need to use it!) We live in times when people say it's ok to speak your mind, but if you do, wait till you get the hate messages, the accusations of being biased, hot headed and even racial.
I am a religious person, but I don't wear it on my sleeve, if you want to challenge my beliefs, you'll have to wait for another lifetime. I am not going to argue with you about this. And I am serious, religion is a practice, it's not laid in stone. There are books and then their's our brain. Let's just respect it ok.
If you have a problem with my country, talk about it to someone when I am not around.
If you have a problem with my work, take it up with my boss.
If you have a problem with my behavior with you personally please come to me and tell me what I did. Don't throw subtle hints, because I don't get those. Don't tell me, you are mad at me and not tell me why. What's the freaking point? Seriously.
Sometimes, I don't like to talk about the things that are bothering me, please respect that. Don't get in my face and annoy the hell out of me. When I am ready, I will come and talk to u. I am not being rude, but please don't expect me to smile and laugh when I don't feel like it.
And not everything is funny. Please remember that loss of anything is not funny, people, limbs, money, car. Nothing. Don't try and find a brighter side to everything, sometimes people just don't want it.
And what's with people keeping stupid, really stupid status messages on IM, FB, Orkut, Myspace. Why would you say "Just hanging in there" if u don't want to discuss it. Why would you say "Some people..." when you will not own up? Why will you say "Happy ;) " and not say a word. WTH???? Stop being cryptic and stupid, it makes no one happy.
Maybe the post should be called something else, I am not sure. I know I will not write about the things that I want to write the most, coz I am dead tired of all the hate mails, I'll just let it float and make people ask me! huh! just like you missy and mister, just like u!!!
Blogs suck, they truely do. Cowardice sucks, Political correctness sucks. Only Annonymity rocks!
I agree about feeling restricted... The more people read the blog, the less free you feel to say what you want. I think I'd like a feature where each post only goes out to those I want to read it or something. It sucks that so many people will judge without trying to see your side, and it almost seems better to keep your true thoughts to yourself, but it's a lot more fun to be free to express one's self. Alas. The blogger's dilemma. I have to admit, that's one reason I stopped blogging. I'm glad you still blog now and then.
ReplyDeleteSome people do keep anonymous blogs and never show them to anyone they know in person. Then they disable comments. But then, how will you know if anyone is reading? Or does it not matter? Hmmm.
I saw your comments on thebratthebeanandbedlam, you know what? don't waste your time commenting on that christian supremist's blog, most of the readers love sucking up to her and agree with whatever she says, the moment somebody starts disagreeing she comes out with her claws. I saw how rude she was to you.

@ Mr D.
ReplyDeletei don't know, i am tired. I want to know what others think about some of the things I write, but a lot of times it becomes a diary entry. I don't know.
@ Siya,
Thanks Siya. that writer has written some really rude and horrible things in her comments about me and i heart churned. She even 'honey-called' me. But it's her space and her point of views, albeit rude and very condescending, i think it's best to ignore her from now on.
