Interesting that today was the day that I chose to implement my new direction. "Thoughts on the State of Things" is the one topic that I felt was a bit vague. For clarity's sake, I will say that "Thoughts" concerns many things, some related. Politics, people, personal mental well being, and social customs and trends. Usually, this will be my place to vent my displeasure with people and media- just fair warning. Anyhow, here it goes.
Due to my commitment to creating a blog worth reading, I began going back through my older posts in order to remove information that I might not enjoy the judgmental public to see.
In my stroll through memory cliché, I discovered two important aspects of my blog history. First, there is a lot that I might want to revise and/or remove from said history. Second, I come off as extremely arrogant when I am writing. So that's good... right? Yeah.
One of my finest abilities (see arrogance above) is my ability to view situations objectively. I am not one to shy away from saying exactly what I mean, so my question is: should my arrogant statements be deleted or remain? I cannot say that my opinion has changed on the majority of subjects that I rant about. I can say, however, that the manner in which I would prefer to discuss my beliefs might be slightly less intrusive if I were to approach those topics today.
I mean, call me a fascist, but I believe that censorship is necessary. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I have to live in a country where I can voice my opinions openly. However, I do not think that my life is improved by hearing Michael Moore's opinions on the country that provided for him the very rights that he abuses so callously.
The truth, as usually is the case, exists somewhere in the middle of the issue. The bottom line is that I should be in charge of censoring the worlds information at my leisure. I don't think that's too much to ask, do you?
Anyway, I veered off topic a bit. In regard to my arrogance. I think I've come to the conclusion that most of the feelings I feel or have felt were valid at the time of feeling. If readers feel like they need to judge or express a difference of opinion, by all means. I would do the same.
I love you, I will write to you tomorrow.
