Blogs, anger, grudges, discrimination and perspective.
I wonder if blogging is a tool to pen down your thoughts about your daily life, things that interest you and things that you do over time, or is it something to indirectly hurt another, hoping that the person will not realize. Having a slight feeling that someone is referring to you in what he/she says but at the same time not knowing whether it is really you because no names are mentioned.
Is it really effective? Indirectly expressing your anger towards a person? Well, it may be comforting to know that no one excepts the writer of the blog itself knows who he/she is referring to, but what about the person mentioned? Is it fair to put her in a realm of question marks trying to figure out what exactly she did wrong? And then she has to apologise even though she did not know what she did. Isn't it much easier to tell it to her straight? So that things are cleared up faster?
Some people instead choose to bear grudges. It's the kind that goes "Oh I'm not talking to her unless she says sorry." But how exactly would she know that she did something which made you angry? And there it goes; the cold sullen look and the sarcastic hints. Hmmm. But when you die, you wouldn't want to bring all these bad memories with you, right? You mean you like to live forever knowing that so and so did what to you and "I shall never forgive her" that kind of thing?
And ultimately, discrimination is used to express hatred. In a play, for example, a director might place more emphasis on a particular actor and put the one he hates behind a transparent wall. But in most common cases, someone will pull another person or even many people to her side so that they as a big group will be able to avoid the targeted one. Discrimination is a line, whether or not it exists because of skin colour, race, or plainly "the girl I like and the girl I don't". But most of the time, discrimination is played with to clearly show the targeted one, "Hey, you don't belong in here, too bad 'cos I hate you for what you did to me".
Perspective? Perspective can be changed by influence, but it also can be changed by your own will. You see through your own eyes, not through others. Nobody has the power to totally change what a person thinks as it's something personal and varies with each person. Everybody has their own different perspective on things, even if the difference is not a big difference. Even if you try walking in someone else's shoes, will it mean that you change your perspective totally?
Well, this is just general stuff that I just feel has to be said. A little thing will boil down to several other things, and I don't want my blog to be the cause of it. Maybe this is the end of my blog, maybe.
