A Blog About Blogs

These are my observations about blogging and bloggers.

Blogging has its positives. In expressing thoughts, we find some pattern in our way of thinking and that helps in stream-lining. Sometimes, it is good to write about stuff to leave thoughts behind and move on. We also can use this as a sounding board for our ideas. Many times we talk to our inner soul (during prayers) to get answers to difficult questions. Blogging is like that. Besides, the circle of friends/followers of the blog will feedback and there will be a healthy exchange of ideas.

There are negatives. First, blogging is seen, sometimes, as a sign of weakness - sort of like exposing all your trumps in a game of cards - a tell-all of ones mind. Plus, there is always a fear for personal security. It is important not to give out identities in this age. Last but not least, blogging is also considered a waste of space and time.

While most of these points are debatable, blogging should be done in the right spirit and will then serve its purpose.
