Sometimes I wonder, how true or honest can our blogs be?
I have seen friends deleted their blogs or blog posts just because their friends find them offensive.
In fact, I myself have once deleted a blog post in my Friendster's blog years ago. I was expressing my feelings towards a friend without mentioning any names, a friend read it and felt I was referring to her. She sent me an email telling me it's all my fault and I shouldn't be writing those because she does not care. Well, it's funny when someone said she doesn't care yet made a big fuss over it. I simply ignored the email and deleted that blog post. Why? I just do not wish to receive any more hurtful emails from other friends who might feel that I was referring to them. (Bringing this up again, I wonder if that person will read this and send me another email.)
From that moment on, I am more careful in blogging. Well, it was a good lesson learnt. Besides being more careful, I learned to do some soul searching before I blog. In order not to write something offensive to anyone, I would often take a good look at what happened. It turned out to be a pretty good way for me to reflect.
You may say I'm not being honest in blogging or writing my feelings anymore. But, no one can ever tell whether someone is being honest. A person can be very honest at this very minute and yet to become extremely deceitful in the next few minutes. Sometimes, honesty is very subjective.
I wonder if reading my blog makes you understand me more, or my blog completely bores you?
