inspired by what can be seen outside the windows.

Four classmates of mine are doing a forum for their Critical Thinking class based on an interesting motion, whether they should ban blogging or not. Seriously? I would say yeah. For now, the cons are outweighing the pros. On my personal account, a friendship was ruined. As you can see, the satisfaction of writing a post can be very subjective. It varies on the topic of one particular post. It all boils down on how detailed the post is.

Seldom do we see people writing things directly. Most of the time, it’s an indirect message. Maybe one of the satisfactions comes when we give other people the benefit of a doubt. But by portraying the word someone instead of a name, we are actually keeping people who read the blog guessing. I don’t think it’s a positive thing as I am personally paranoid, myself. Letting some of your thoughts on paper means, you’re letting things go and it can be very therapeutic and helpful. Things that are kept inside can make one person unsound. BUT, it is hard when people tend to interpret the content of the lines differently. A single line can bring double and at times, triple meanings. But that doesn’t mean it is going out to you and sometimes you just have to grow out of it. Learn that life doesn’t revolve around you only.

The debate went well for them and I gained a lot actually. Bloggers who are addicted to blogging might go through some disease called ‘bloggeria’ or something. Haha. As for me, it’s just another outlet to let things go and it is not my intention to hurt anyone and like I said earlier, the satisfaction varies. It’s not that you want the whole world to know about your life but once I hit ‘post’, it’s like, ‘yes, it’s done and everything is being let out.’ i love writing no matter what and i have been writing ever since i was in Standard Three. Perhaps this critical thinking class has its own hidden agenda behind it. It keeps us thinking about how to analyze things deeper with a strong point of view. The premise must support the claim. Dont conclude when there is no evidence.

Sometimes, it is scary to read other people’s blog and finding out the truth, unnecessary details, wrong information and sometimes, just some plain old news. But most of the times, it’s fun. For instance, Hanis Zalikha’s blog can really make readers laugh. Some blogs can really make people mad, like the education’s blog. I was really furious when I read the blog written to condemn UITM. Hey, don’t say bad things about my university and make a claim that UTAR is the best. wtf? talk about being racist here.

anyways, if let say blogs are being banned, we're back to just writing on papers, on microsoft Words, notepads. haha. then, im back to journals.ok2. i know my arguments do not support my conclusion right . but when i think about all the news in the papers regarding blogs, i kept on thinking , how can a simple thing be so complicated. and actually, by banning blogs, we are questioning the basic rights of freedom of speech for one particular human being. ok now i am confused, nak ban ke x? haha. ok2 xyah la mcm ni. just be aware of the situation and make the best out of it la.
