What are the pros and cons of writing blogs...
This was the topic of discussion between me and a friend of mine (He who must not be named-Just kidding!)
Well, both of us agreed that blogs are there to put forth your frank opinions and there are no rules as such for writing blogs...The point where both of us disgreed was that others reading it tend to draw conclusions about the person who has written the blogs...One can probably map the mind of the writer...know his strengths and weaknesses and alter their behaviour towards the writer with a motive of dominating him!
This I guess is a fear of most of the people who abstain from this great pleasure.I would like to call it-Fear of expressing yourself!!
According to me, and I would like to tell this to my friend-(you know who)- that the human race has always been finding ways to express themselves...I believe that this has been the core essence beind every creation of the human being....
From Musicians to Engineers...from doctors to artists of all kinds...from employees to daily wage labourers...from Kings to Politicians...all have a voice and they want to raise it in front of everyone...prove a point...the point I feel is that-"Brooks was here"-As brought to light in Shawshank Redemption...Everyone wants to leave some mark behind...some trace of their existence...The ability to expressing onself in a better and simpler way enables him to reach the masses quickly!
Writing Blogs...I feel is one of the most simplest and easiest means of expressing yourself...Probably that could be one reason why people abstain from this form of 'expression'...their subconscious minds might be finding it too silly and hence not passing on the urge to the conscious mind to execute the action!
I chose to pause my writing at this point and ponder a bit over my decision to write blogs...and I find no reason whatsoever to stop writing...for me it is a forum where I can think aloud without actually disturbing many people!
Another input given by him-(you know who)-was that my blogs lack the 'out of the box thought' that one is looking for while reading something...The writing style is quite different, but does not give that something new which one is looking out for...
Honestly I do not make any such attempts. I do agree that my blogs are quite silly, but I would only like to say that 'thought' is a very powerful word. It is someting that truly differenciates humans from other species...Even the father of modern philosophy- Rene Descartes says
'COGITO ERGO SUM:I THINK THEREFORE I AM'
'Out of the box thinking' thus is way beyond the normal 'thought' and is definitely not something to be shared so easily...not in materialistic terms...but more psychologically...something of immense value...if shared easily...tends to lose its value and people start questioning its credibility!
Probably that is the reason why great minds of yesteryears like
Da Vinci...Michalengelo...Nostradamus...had there work done in some form of code language...It required some effort on the part of the receiver of this art to do some brain exercises...and hence appreciate the work...Guess thats what has made them genius...(See...the path is still the same as mentiond in my blog law of the universe-reaching the heart through the mind and not the other way round!)
All in all, I feel that the human mind has a very wonderful gift of 'thought' which can be transferred from one human to another (Infact if-mastered properly-to every aspect of nature)and that too with wireless connectivity!! I think there is huge potential in this 'market' of transferring thought which can be achieved only if there is communication between the senders and the receivers more often.
Thankfully there are many avenues to bridge this gap like Music-dance-sports-art-poetry-fashion-Interior decoration-swimming-horse riding-paragliding-stock market trading-designing jewelery-tree plantations-yoga-ayurveda-organising events-social service-cooking-advertising-maths-science experiments (Funsuk Wangdu)-podcasts-craft-pottery-Origami.................................................................................................and of course.....blogs!!!
