Acts of kindness, words of ambiguity
While reading one of my sister's blog entries, a comment popped out at me. What I realized is that viewing blogs as just a possible platform for negativity due to people's needs of being heard is quite narrow. The assumption that people are just speaking their minds so they don't feel so alone and cathartic perhaps doesn't explain everything. While going through my list of daily read blogs, I noticed that not everyone is negative, that negativity breads in itself but things simply don't have to be that way.
While over at a friend's house working on some accounting stuff, I saw her daughter was looking at books online. I asked if she liked to read and she said yes of course but she didn't have any books. An easy suggestion is to tell her to go to the library but I told her that if I would buy her $10 in used books from Amazon.com. This usually amounts to 2-3 books not including shipping.
The reason I did this was because I was excited that she wanted to read instead of go shopping at the mall, watch tv, or talk on the phone. In fact it is something I wish I did more of. So I decided to give a little.
Words of ambiguity (or take a stand):
While watching the Grammy's, Fred Durst from Limpbizkut made a comment mentioned here. "I just really hope we are in agreeance that this war should go away as soon as possible.", just screams how afraid some people are of taking a position. Maybe he's too dumb to take a position and state it but I doubt that. He can swear all day long on his records but when faced with public scrutiny, he just says that "War should go away."
