To blog or not to blog.....
That IS the question....
I am really taken aback at some of the venom that has emerged on some of the blogs. Some of the labeling, the name calling the inability to see the opinion of another with respect ( perhaps I have been guilty of that ) And I am saddened at the fact that many of us have appeared to be intolerant and judgemental (again perhaps I have been guilty of that).
I see the victim mentality, the judging of others as being unfit to read because of personal choices that many readers have stated on their pages. The pages that state I will only read for repeat 5 star callers, No general questions, no timing, and the most controversial one, not wanting to read for people indulging in adulterous situations. Those are ALL the same in theory and are stipulations that a reader can impose on their conditions to do a reading. We have that choice to run our business the way we see fit. These blogs seem to bring out the worst in some not to mention the best in some with some very educational blogs.....
All of this has made us appear childish, whiny, judgemental and attack prone on other human beings simply because they are behind a computer screen as if that might hurt less. This really needs to change as that kind of behavior in my humble opinion was not the purpose of the blogs, and will not in the long term serve us well. Neither from a business stand point, and or professional stand point and none of this will serve any of us well. There is room for all of us on here no matter what our personal opinions are and respect is what is sadly needed from all towards others.
p.s. this is my personal opinion of the toxic energy of some of the blogs lately, does not speak of anyone in particular and does not refer to anyone in particular and if it has cause offense, it was not intended..... Brings to mind a Carly Simon song..........I bet you think this blog is about you, don't you.........I am off to make some clouds in my coffee... no pun intended.........
