Have blog will express an opinion seems to be the attitude
these days. I mean this is my blog and I am expressing my opinion on it,
however I do have some regard for how I will be perceived and what my children
will think of me when they read this blog many moons from today. I find that
with the onset of social media people will do/say anything for a few more
likes, shares or to go viral. Opinions on everything from how awesome it is to
be a stay – at – home mom to how bad it is to be a working mom, to why someone
won’t wear any jewelry to indicate she is married, to what to feed kids, how to
raise kids, heck even if to have kids or not, the evils of schools, the
benefits of home schools, the drawbacks of home schools, the benefits of schools,
disapproval of all rules associated with having periods in India, the evils of
arranged marriages, the evils of marriage in general, vaccinations pro or con, how
a mother – in – law can never replace a mother etc!!!!
What I find appalling is how harsh, forceful and negative
all of these posts seem to be. I am opinionated however I understand that for
every situation there are multiple angles and what is expressed in the post
most often doesn't take into consideration ANY other perspective except what is
expressed by the author. What happened to decency? What happened to courtesy?
Will these people writing these blog posts say the things they write in these
blogs to someone’s face? Is it the anonymity that the web provides that allows
people to say these things?
All I am requesting is that people respect multiple opinions
and understand that most often than not people are doing things that work best
for them in their life situations! And remember people there is a little thing
called ETIQUETTE.
