The Sword Of Blogging Part 1/3



The sword always cuts both ways, lets look at the side that is not as sharp. While I love blogging, all aspects of the process, I admit as everything, it too has a dark side. The dull side of blogging is how hard it is to find good and accurate information. So lets have a moment of truth, most blogs lack original information.


Its nothing more than someone either agreeing with a news reporters work or we just cant wait to give commentary on how we disagree with someone else.


There are so many rats with agendas to deter or misinform the blind mice. Most of us are just walking into walls, with such a hard time to seek the truth, that after awhile most of us just give in to the madness. We have become faithful patrons of the internet religion. Not asking how do I find the truth, but many become spectators of the mass media’s agenda.


We have become a majority of reactors to the “truth” instead of becoming proactive to seek it. Carriers of a disease that we injected ourselves with. Why? Are we lazy? Are we so apathetic that its not truly important to find the truth, but instead to speak someone else’s? Is it a matter of trust? Do we believe the hype because, its something we like hearing?


I read a lot of people’s “truth, often I see more intent in the undercurrent of their words than I do the thesis of their writing. Am I some sort of a psychic? No. But the better question is why do we speak with such a fear of unfiltered honesty? Is it the truth will damage our comfort zone? Or is it far more sinister? Can we talk to each other from a humanistic stance or have we truly lost what separates us from the animals we cage up in the zoo?


I think the sinister perception needs more light drawn to it. We need more light, period.


Imagine if we could have transparency, not the Obama transparency. Please leave Obama out of this (I know the word transparency is like blood to a shark these days). Human transparency, that where we drop some of the walls, i.e. fears, where could we go? What could we accomplish?


Part 2 coming soon…
