Back again.
This blogging thing, I suspect is popular because governments and organisations and people around people in general seem to be hard pressed to sit and lend you a well scrubbed ear. I mean, really, why on earth would anyone be writing this?
I am a rather angst free kind of soul...so it cant be angst...I do have a bit of time at hand for a few weeks...so maybe I am just doodling...but methinks there is more to this.
Perhaps we are living in a world where decibel levels are a tad too high...too much clutter around us...too many attempts at selling the next hot phone, car, hanging (There was the little matter of capital punishment in a certain Singapore...in case you are one of those 'news is boring' types), perfume or wrinkle vanishing cream.
We all want an audience, don't we? Wouldn't it be wonderful if a million people read my views and gave me a million bucks for it? We all want to be heard...its just ironical that we find it increasingly easier to just blurb on into this digital black hole (the Internet) than to actually converse like human beings have for centuries...
Maybe I am just being cynical...You can see why I called this post...flippant!
Anyway...something to ponder perhaps...In the meantime...politely ripping off Ralph Waldo Emerson...
"By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all BLOG. In fact, it is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of others as it is to invent..."
Kind of makes sense, doesn't it?
Cheers for now.
