Perception and the like.

Frustrated by the fact that no matter how much one knows, he ends up knowing... nothing.
And this is not about ignorance, it's about perception. 
You see things a certain way, another person sees it differently. Maybe both of you are right, maybe both of you are wrong. What's sure is it's confusing. Perception is confusing. Why can't we all just see things the same way. Not fun? Not interesting? No? Well, OK then, keep being confused.


Someone I really like and respect once said that being confused is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it keeps our engine (thinking/brain) working, and at some point it becomes enjoyable and fun. Well, hmmm, I don't know how fun it can be. But I'm guessing close to not at all.


And what about the most provoking sentence ever: "There's no such thing as THE TRUTH". And I hope not to be judged by being inflexible when I express my disliking to this sentence, but, how?? How?? How can we live in a world where there's no truth? Well I say there is such thing as the truth but we're just too lazy to chase!


Now the question here imposes itself; how can we live in a world where it's people are so lazy they make up things then believe they're facts, just so that they don't make extra effort. How?

A Blog's Journey.

Is the blogging days over? I sometimes ask myself this question.
I once had a blog. A blog that I loved and cherished. One that gave me a chance to meet a lot of interesting people. 
For some reason, I had to delete this blog. 
I lost it forever.
And now I totally and absolutely regret this shameful act of deleting my blog.

I made several other blogs, one after another, which I found soulless after only a couple of posts. Then I deleted them all, one after another.

Until I created this blog months ago, and posted a couple of times, and it didn't attract me as usual. But I decided not to delete it and keep it until I have nostalgia again for blogging. And here I am.

I still think the blogging days are over though. People slowly were phasing out of the blogging world into Facebook, and now they are slowly phasing out of Facebook into Twitter. And God knows what's next.

There is a great advantage of a blog over Facebook though, and that it's very very personal, you speak your heart out without any boundaries. You say what's on your mind without worrying people will judge you because, well, they don't know you. They only know the words you're typing. And that's enough for this kind of communication. And sometimes what you write is not even for communication, rather to get out the feelings and emotions that you have. Like a journal. Relieving. 

So to make a long story short, this blog is a keeper.
