Blogging in a Digital Fortress
Reading back on my posts for the past weeks,
I realised that all I've been writing are mostly complaints.
And I start to think about why I keep complaining.
Is my life so tough that I need to complain so much?
Or is it that I just need an outlet to surface my displeasures?
Of course it's the latter lah.
This blog was started for my friends to know what has gone on in my life.
My thoughts.
My likes and dislikes.
My feelings.
But somehow, it has occurred to me that there are certain thoughts I cannot pen down here.
For it's such an open domain where ANYONE can read it.
ANYONE can refer to the people whom I mentioned about in the blog.
ANYONE can be the person I am complaining about in the blog.
It's such a risk to write.
Even on your own blog which we call it the "electronic diary".
Ain't diary's definition = dairy records of events, including personal thoughs and feelings?
Then?
Why is there such a risk involved?
It is weird.
We are all living in a controlled environment in this digital fortress.
And what you write may eventually be your downfall,
if you bare too much of your thoughts.
There must be a buffer.
And most bloggers know about this buffer.
What to say and what NOT to say.
We are all careful about our words.
Which is contradicting since a blog is supposed to be a diary.
Where you are safe to say what you intend to say.
But it is not totally secured.
Unless you have enough courage to face up to the consequences of penning your irresponsible/irrational feelings.
