Before this year, I had never blogged. On one hand, I
think that what I have to tell is not worth posting on a blog. I prefer to discuss
those topics in real life, instead of sporting my opinion on the Internet.
Blogging is for me not so different than if I would hang a poster in the street
with my personal opinion, and wait for people to express their feeling about
what I think is important. What bothers me a little bit here, is the lack of
modesty…
And the comments made by the readers don’t always
raise up the debate. Talking about comments, I would only write one if the
person who’s blogging is asking for advice, but I wouldn’t, or I would seldom
comment in order to say “I (dis)agree”. As would Blaise Pascal say: “Everything
that is written merely to please the author is worthless”.
When I want to share a website, an artist, whatever I have
discovered, I rather share the link to it, so that whoever is interested can
make his own experience. What’s more, I am not a big blog reader myself, nor am
I crazy about people who tell their life on the net. Knowing that, why would I
do something that doesn’t even appeal my own interest? At school and at home,
we have always been told to give as few information as possible on the
Internet; blogging is kind of the opposite. Finally, I don’t have time (or
don’t want to have time, matter of opinion) to read posts, that sometimes might
not be as serious as one could wish (inaccurate data, offensive posts).
But on the other hand, I think that travel blogs for
instance are something great, because these are online travel logs, and are of
a greater utility for me. I know that one can always learn something from a
post, and that a lot of smart people also keep a blog. Without blogs, I
wouldn’t know many things that I know today. I encourage and approve (good)
bloggers. One has to remain discreet for somebody else to shine. I accept to be
one of the discreet ones on the blogging ground. Just one thing was unexpected:
this year, let us face it, I’m evaluated on my blogging skills. So expect to
hear from me!
