A couple of days back I read this interesting blog on another site, the writer wrote how a first time blogger had to justify why he or she is starting a blog. Well he/she was right on spot cause I too had done the same and not so subtly either. And yet I have always wondered why every body around has suddenly taken up blogging. I know the obvious answers to that but somehow am not convinced with the obvious. I have a feeling that yes this could be just a trend but it could also spring from our subconscious need to get over the kind of numbness one feels living in these times.
We tend to look away from all that is happening around us and somehow are and will never be able to actually do it, not really (not any more with the world turning out to be so small).
The second best option is to try and cover all that sensitive, vulnerable soul and mind within a shell. That too is sort of cracking for many of us and we are becoming aware of the fact that at some point we will have to address it. Blogging could be one of the instruments that might help us to do just that.
Yes you could say I am making a mountain out of a molehill, but then now I believe that simple living may not be possible but high thinking can always be incorporated.
