"I hate those blogs that are self-piteous in nature"...
This is a very direct and strong statement... and it tugged at me when I read that comment...
The people who agreed and said that are quite close to me, friends - definately, but such insensitivity still doesn't agree with me...
... that is because my blog has been catagarised as such before...
A blog, to me, is a link. A sanctuary to write out opinions, feelings, emotions and experiences for self-reflection as well as to share with those who care about you.
(that excludes those who blog for publicity purposes -_-" guess who)
When a person is sad, he or she will naturally express whatever they are feeling on their blog. If a person is sad for a long period of time, they will express sadness for a long period of time on their blog. It is not surprising.
During the periods of my depression, my blog was a eyesore (to some people I guess) of whining and moaning.
Was it because I was wallowing in self-pity? No.
Was it because my blog was self-piteous in nature? No.
Was it becasue I was trying to seek attention? Maybe. But still it wasn't on my mind at that time.
It all boils down to the fact that each human is different and the life of some people are just inflicted with greater sadness then other people...
It is not self-pity...
Why do people do sharing? Why did God command us to share our feelings, thoughts and needs with one another?
Because its an expression of care, love and concern for one another...
Knowing whatever a person is going through, when he or she is sharing with you. Would you brand him or her as "self-piteous"?
Likewise, when you read another person's blog, we are not there as a spiteful commentators, but as a caring friend and who wish to know what the people you love are going through...
Hope you guys will be more sensitive to the bloggers...
They may actually be going through some tough times and you all may be laughing at their misery.
Blogging is something very personal, close to the heart, yet open to the world
Happiness is meant to tell you that the person sharing with you wants you to be happy too because they want to share it with you.
Likewise, sadness and loneliness is meant to tell you that the person sharing it with you wants you to know that he or she is feeling down and maybe you're the one that can cheer him or her up.
Will you pick the person up today?
