It would be much simpler if I wanted to blog about a special interest – such as Model Railway's or “Why aren't my poison dart frogs breeding?” I would imagine much safer, on the whole anyway but I'm sure if I had a following other issues could well creep in....hey I'm not dressing up for Halloween as it happens...just sayin dudes.
So being aware of the risk of being drawn into the cauldron of anti-social media. The great feeding frenzy of opinion and hyper-connected post-modern hoo-ha that takes us away from the actual reality of what is going on “In front of our eyes”.
The anger generating twittering that feeds back into the news that then spreads it further in an endless feed back of media masturbation, driven by people with too much time on there hands (me!) and an emotional investment in a position or (it ends with an "ist" in case you hadn't noticed) that is often a distraction from their own existential realities, and avoidance of self responsibility.
I am becoming more convinced (to be tested) that there is a place of comfortable reality were the normal people exist – the one's who just get on with it.
How to even start without rocking the boat – that is all over the place anyway- before you've even got on board. So the answer may be to cut of from the news and any concerns outside of my own actual existence in the moment – I wonder how this will pan out?
But no, although I have reached a certain place in self development where I love silence I shall stick my head above the parapet in my modest (ha-ha) way and take it like a man.
I will expose myself to the Ipso Facto as I call it. “If this then that!” The mental short circuits of the world of Social Media!
