Tree in the forest
Just as I begin my weblog, I find a post like this. While I agree that there are way too many echoes and dumbass rants, I’m not worried cuz I’m here to neither help nor hurt the situation. It’s the good ol’ “tree in the forest” concept — if nobody is listening, the silence hasn’t been broken….
Also, with or without huge audience, each blogger is an individual and it’s good to keep in mind that whatever is expressed is one person’s opinion. To me it’s a bit silly to take yourself so seriously that you assume whatever you’re breaking the silence with has so much impact. Yes, people need to think before they open their mouth, but censoring yourself before your words have a chance to be judged? I can understand if this was television, radio, etc — but it’s a freakin Internet, man. The whole beauty of the medium is that a little man could be heard. We all have our own minds, so let the people be the judge of if you’re improving on the silence or not. I’m probably spending way too much time thinking about this already… anyway he should check himself if he thinks he’s doing a huge service to the world by either posting or NOT posting. Whatever, dude.
