Why should you care, maybe you shouldnt.

I feel the first thing I should share here is why I would share something here. I’ve had a lot of mixed feelings about personal blogs. For me the ease in which we now share about our lives brings about negative consequences. Anyone can share and share about anything. While digital media opens many doors I believe some things were meant to stay behind those doors. The end result isn’t just hearing things we shouldn’t but what we should pay attention to is watered down with all the inane ramblings of a narcissistic nation. Imagine back to the Renaissance and the great age of discovery. While many were looking for enlightenment and sharing thoughts and ideas the difficulties in medium ment only the best were heard. The result a highly concentrated record of the time and what was important. When art and culture is shared through brick and stone only best is recorded and it lasts. Now anything and everything is recorded and I fear what is meaniful could be lost. It’s far too easy to shout loudly than to speak intelligently.

That being said Im constantly telling myself to lighten up. While the internet has given a voice to the masses it’s still my choice to read it. I may not care about the half dozen pregnancies that my facebook friends desire to share with me so it’s my choice not to read about them. No one is forcing my hand so why should I object. So with that I will too offer my inane ramblings and personal but often cliché look at the world around me. I will say what I want and others can choose to read. Someday I hope to have something worth writing in stone. Even then I remind myself that someday even stone will be gone.

I will use this opportunity to share. Perhaps some enjoyment will result from my thoughts being shared. As said by Red Green “Were all in this together”
