A blogger should be like a playwright , putting people on stage , putting ideas on stage , making the readers interact as well as being the audience .
Being the half serious blogger , means writing the things one love to think about , analyze , and discuss , putting them down even on days when you don't feel like writing about them .
Blogging has always it's own trajectory , it takes one places we did not intend to go , and leaves us with thoughts , ideas and findings different from those we had when we started , and in blogging I feel I have undertaken a life work , a task of telling everybody everything every one knows .
Reading my blogs , one gets the feeling that history is at it's end . We could almost congratulate ourselves for the fact .
Your humble blogger here , could fall under the adage : " A person who abandons a career or the money producing life , in order to stay at home , take care of his family , love and cherish his wife , cultivate friendship , and occasionally blog , is considered not to be living up to his potential . AS if a job title and salary are the sole measures of human worth .
Felt like explaining some aspects of me and my blogs , as usual thank you all .

ReplyDeleteAbove is the link to the full speech by Bill Watterson to the graduating class of Kenyon college. He is the artist/author of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.
The speech is titled " Some thoughts on the real world by one who glimpsed it and fled" Does that grab your attention or what?
.
I found your adage " a person who abandons a career in order to stay at home and raise children.....etc" towards the end of his speech. I thought the whole speech is interesting, specially as to how artists and creative people think in contrast to say business oriented people.
Quoting from Bill Watterson's speech;
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation ".
