Why do we use spaces on the World Wide Web to unleash our thoughts? Why do we shed all our inhibitions here? The good in us, the bad in us, the never ending nothingness that covers the best years of our lives. It’s all dumped here...on the black, green and blue pages we call blogs.
Why do we prefer these spaces to people?
I say it’s because it’s too damn easy...
The complexity we've gotten ourselves into...the world we've made for us...the fake plastic faces we've mastered...the immensely talented actors in us...we are the architects of our world where we seem to think we care. But do we? We do not mind the tear drops that finds its way onto the l's m's and o's of the keyboard. But even one drop gets heavy when it comes in vicinity of people. People who supposedly understand....we still think we do...we know the truth. We all do. Yet we do not stop. Ultimately we realize it. Then we turn to these blank spaces.
These spaces do not understand us. These spaces do not care...but at least these spaces listen.
We write...with the faint hope that maybe we'll find the understanding that we crave for...after all...these spaces are common to people. People we are scared of. May these spaces bridge the distance between us...and leave no spaces. Amen.
And thus I am turning to the World Wide Web with my trash...because I’m no different...we are all the same…

For your first article, this one is pretty intense, makes one retrospect, reflect on one's surroundings. Are we shying away from human interaction preferring to type away in front of our computers? Well this one's pretty tough to answer. In this modern age, time surely flies fast and no one has the time to retrospect in the company of friends, loved ones and family. Hence, we find refuge in this virtual world where we are not alone. But as a parting shot, I am different, with the similarity ending at the choice of the platform where I express myself.
Welcome to the world of Blogging.
a friend of mine once asked me how i got the courage to open up on a blog in front of a million strangers... so even though she wrote she kept it private... so i guess it depends on which way you look at it... an what kind of social cowardice you choose...
welcome home...
Congrats on your 1st blog. Well written. I agree your points.
