Life is valuable. I feel we won't know to what measure until it is almost taken. That doesn't necessarily mean your physical life. Our spiritual, emotional, and mental lives are equally valuable if not more sometimes. Well....I'll just stick to equal. But if you can't believe, feel, or think, why live? That's what "they" say living is right? That's why there's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Vine, Google+ and even this blogging site; so we can do all those things in front of hundreds, thousands, even millions. We as humans need to know we have the freedom to express what ever we want exactly how we want. Why? Well why is not a useful question. (And I've actually figured out the logic behind this statement. "Why?" only leads to "Because..." which leads to another "Why?" and soon becoming an endless cycle. So it kinda makes sense)
Who cares about the 30 year old who just opened up his own print shop and can't wait to post photos of his products on Instagram?
Who cares about the 21 year old college student who is tweeting about eating Menchies while out with her new friends she met in freshman English?
Who cares about the 17 year old high school student posting about how she is still battling her emotions and desperately searching for herself in places not so easy to see?
Doesn't matter who cares. They all have the freedom to let anyone know about whatever it is because society has almost made it a requirement. No one person can deny freedom of another to the complete and full extent. If using social media or not, we all have
a freedom,
that freedom,
some freedom,
the freedom to just
be.
Woww
I'm so glad to see that you have embraced the idea that why is not a useful question. You can thank Anne Lamott for that statement. There are better ways to ask that question so that you get the answer you really want.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to express ourselves. Zora Neale Hurston says that each person has to do two things for herself: go to God and figure out how to live. And that means figuring out who you are and how you can share that with the world. A blog is a great idea. Especially for someone who wants to be a writer.
This. Is gonna be. Great.
