To Blog or Not to Blog…
To blog or not to blog, that is the question? Wither it is more noble to write here, per chance to be read by some few who happen to pass this way and thus justify the existence of the blog and further substantiate my own being or better instead to write in my private journal for my own personal needs, knowing none shall likely ever read, but yet, in a different way provide my own substance of existence by spilling my soul out in words?
I could go on and on about such a topic as this, but I think the question and short little paragraph that follows really sums up as much as there really needs to be on the question. I do think there is a bit of a unique parallel to found between Shakespeare’s words that Hamlet expresses and the need that so many of us bloggers have to not so much express our thoughts and opinions, but rather to be heard. It is in the sharing of such thoughts that such blogs, and subsequently, the bloggers are validated.
In my mind’s eye I can even see Hamlet having this discussion in a modern-day, questioning the skull in his hands about to live via blogging or to be snuffed out, and hence dyeing, by not having anything to say to the world.
And now that I have blogged quiet by accident, I am off to write in the journal – which I think was my original intent, especially as I have a new pen I brought downstairs for such a purpose.
You know I am having same thoughts every now and then. Don't know what I expect from blogging, but the truth is we write for ourselves, to express our own feelings, to share things we love, to ponder, to think loudly etc etc etc. But at some level we also want to connect to people. See their response and feedback. I believe if we don't find out what we actually want, we will never find the answer to blog or not to blog.
