I'm not sure what's making me crazier. The number of blogs out there or the number of self-centered blogs.
In the past month, I've seen no fewer than 271 reasons WHY you should never say this, never do that, recover from this, always excuse that. It's exhausting.
By the way, this photo is entitled, "WHY YOU SHOULD EAT INDIAN FOOD ON A CRUISE."'
I know, right?!?! Who gives?!?
Does anyone else feel like they are re-living the 90's and the word police? It's like Facebook is giving political correctness a whole new life.
WHY is this so exhausting?
Because, dudes, someone else is telling you how to run your lives and what you can say without any sort of authority other than they have a really good photographer take a really heartbreaking or deep photo and wax on and wax off about their lives and what changed when they realized that... well, they realized that if you start a blog with "why," people bite! And they read!!!
I don't know. I'm all about being a better person, but by God's grace. I can't change me just by reading more blogs.
I also know I can't change me just by applying more rules.
That's the issue here. The last thing we want is more rules.
And if there's a last thing, there's a first thing.
If these word police bloggers, and I'm going to go out on a limb and call them PLOGGERS (police + bloggers, you see?), see fit to give us more rules, I just ask, from the bottom of my heart, do it with more grace. Start with grace. Let grace be the first thing!!
In this day and age, and this political environment, don't give people even MORE reason to look down on each other! For the love.
Speaking of which, I love you, so much, for reading a blog post about the nuclear proliferation of blogs.
Bless you friend!
