Hey sunshine,
I know I should be studying right now, but I guess there's a burning desire to share with you my thoughts for me to suppress.
As usual, in an organised, point-formed manner :
1) Angel wonders
Does anyone ever reads my blog and goes around talking about me in their own gossip time. (: Don't get me wrong, I'd be honest to say that I don't, and am not willing to allow myself to waste time worrying about such miniscule matters, because, it does and will not matter till it hurts the people around me. Anyway, I was just wondering about the former because I don't have a tagboard and I don't think I will anyway, ( Probably because I'd waste precious time moderating it and trying my best to prevent it from being a conflict slashing arena/2nd msn chatroom for others. This is my blog afterall, selfish as it sounds. ) and thus, I'd just like to say hi to you, oh special one. (:
2) Blogs and tagboards
What is a blog/tagboard to you? A personal journal? Or perhaps, an area whereby you can voice out your inner thoughts and feelings to the masses without waiting for a response, or rather, a free publicity area to garner "good" attention. And the tagboard, a place whereby people can say hi to you, or is it just a reassurance that people are actually reading your blog, or perhaps, a place whereby people can give unnecessary incessant comments that often slant towards the negativity slosh.
Personally, I view my blog as an area whereby at times, I share my own learning points in my life to others whom I know and whom I do not know, and other times, like the rest, a santuary I can vent my anger, sorrow, pain, and more often than not, my happiness. A tagboard, I'd rather not have, because of the point I've stated above. Somehow, I'm thickskinned enough not to desire for that reassurance of popularity.
On a more general note, I personally do not understand the need for people to publicise their utmost inner feelings and thoughts on their blogs, tagboards. Furthermore, more often than not, without any maturity to make sure it doesn't hurt others. Frankly speaking, I don't get why students get reprimanded for slamming teachers and not for slamming others. Teachers, students, friends, other people, what difference do each hold? Superiority, respect? I doubt so. There is no conditions and excuses and limitations for slamming others. However, if you're clever enough, I hope you'd deem it more sensible in slamming others in broad day light in front of the person (if you've got the guts to) or behind the person (if you've a pride to keep). No one will appreciate it if you abuse your rights of freedom of speech in generating free "publicity" for them. No, not nice at all.
3) Conflicts, conflicts, and more conflicts
I see no need in rambling on about this topic. Because it is not as if after this post, the world's, or rather the people around me's conflicts will subside.
I'm a little confused about feeling angry, sad, pitiful when I hear conflicts happening in a radius of less than 10m surrounding me. This is due to the fact, I'm not in one, I've no rights to speak about this and that when I have not even tasted the raw sting of a conflict. What I feel about it though is that it's good that it happens once in awhile. Because 1) it proves that we are indeed humans, 2) pressure is released, you have a lesser chance of dying with all those hurt buried in your heart. However, the only negative side of conflicts between friends and all relationships, mean that it does not always end with a patch up or a make up session. Relationships and friendships will be broken, and more often than not, people end up in pieces. We must always learn that it is more important to forgive ourselves than to forgive others. For if we fail to forgive ourselves, we can forget about forgiving others. Same as to loving.
What else can I do? Clasp my hands in prayer as we pray as one for peace.
Have a great weekend, sunshine. (:
