seethingblue's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- winter it makes me angry and sad when people are attacked for saying what's on their mind or thinking further than what's obvious, questioning things (in guestbooks). . .i'm not talking about blatantly insulting someone by coming outright and posting something like your diary sucks, motherfucker. I'm talking about those instances when people just wonder why someone chose a certain wording or try to express something they felt from the writing that maybe goes against the grain. . .it doesn't mean these people have to be right or wrong. . .they just see things in another way. . .but people become offended and begin to twist the meaning of the post until it becomes something tainted and ugly. . .these same people talk about not being trapped in ideals of good writing and breaking free from what is taboo. . .but these same people put down other people's opinions; i understand, i would defend my friends no matter what if there was a personal attack on them that was uncalled for. . .but constructive criticsm is a way to communicate; how can you censor that and call yourself liberal? whether or not you agree with what is being said is sometimes irrelevant. . .letting ideas breathe is most important (anyone can attack my writing in any way, if they choose to, in my guestbook. . .i would prefer to defend myself and not have things twisted until they lose their real purpose of meaning) if everyone hates me after saying that, that's okay. . .i had to say it, its been weighing me down for so long 10:41 a.m. - 2001-10-19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
