Blogging

Yes, I am writing a journal entry about blogging in general. I like the idea of blogging. I like that you can express your feelings in writing without having to say them verbally. With that being said, the possibility of what you write down can be exposed to people that you want to read it, and people that you don't want to read it. Even if you fake what you say in a blog, people can still take what you are saying the wrong way. Readers may get confused about who the real person is that is writing the blog and not just a fake. Additionally, blogging can hurt other people. People may get offended by what soemone says in a blog and take it the wrong way. The way a person words something can bring on many different connotations to the meaning. Therefore, I think that we should be honest in what we say. I think that we should not change ourselves to be accepted by others, but we should be honest about what we are really like. Being hypocritical is always worse than being truthful, regardless of how bad something is. If you say you do something, then act the opposite of what you say, then you are living the life of a hypocrite. In the context of blogging, you are a hypocrite if you write down thoughts about yourself and your life that supposedly true, but turn out not to be true in real life.
