Writing

Writing is a form of communication that has not only changed history, but made history possible. The information that we have about ancient civilizations is possible because of some sort of writing. We, the human race, are unique to other animals in a big way due to our ability to write. Thoughts are instant. Writing will last. As long as there is some way to understand the writing, it will be of great value now and in the future.

I am new to this whole blogging thing. Posting things on the internet for all to read is such a new thing for the human race. It is easy to think, and fairly easy to write, but to write what one really thinks and feels is not so simple. Blogging makes it harder in ways, and easier in others. A blog is available to the public; and some, if not most, thoughts are not meant to be public. A reserved person would be very hesitant to write things online for others to see for the sake of exposing their personal thoughts and feelings. However, many thoughts and feelings can be expressed better in writing than in speaking. So a blog can make it easier for many to express and share what is deep inside them.

Well, I have accepted the challenge to begin blogging. I hope those who read will take me seriously, but not too seriously. You'll never really know if these thoughts and ideas are my deepest.
