think new thoughts Posted 1/6/2007 11:59:55 PM "Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives -- the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as times change -- truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts." --Salman Rushdie: One Thousand Days in a Balloon I appreciate how people get to express themselves pretty well in different ways. I read somewhere that today's generation of "bloggers" have truly done a great invasion of the internet. There's such a plethora of expressions you'll find . The degree of honesty and fearlessness to express whatever one wants to express is a good thing. I just don't know if being honestly ugly is all what should be observed though. The name of the blogging game is honesty, people say. Sure. And it's really like it doesn't really matter if what one wants to blog is ugly as long as he/she's able to be honest about what he/she feels? Fine. It's hard to debate against honesty in all points and situations. If I challenge the problem with honesty, I would run the risk of being suspected for dishonesty. But I have this to say: It's alright to express yourself. But please, be with your best self! I know how ugly the world has already become. Everyone knows that for sure. There are bad news here, bad news there and more bad news everywhere. And hearing or reading bad news is nothing new. And it's easier to flow along and be part of the bad side than to resist it. Guys, the world is already a bad, mad world. And we don't have to keep telling and pointing and yelling to others about that. There's no argument there. While I must hold my peace here and not persist in changing the kind of obfuscation people do with their crepuscular logic and involute style of thinking, the best I can do for now is to keep searching somewhere for more stories of people who pursue their search for truth. Is there anyone else here interested in doing appreciative inquiry? So, what's your best-foot-forward-putting story? I hope to find more and more around.Not fewer and fewer :) (1) Comments

I thought so because the stars shine more often during those cloudless evenings. But then even as this early cloudy January, some evening can actually come as a special treat. Stars do make a way for them to greet through shades of gray. And how it can cheer me up when it finds an open spot to blink a while. Amazing. How my life has changed. Clouds are now just an imaginary thing--just a concept. And stars are what's always there--for real and forever.:) - * - * - * - * - (0) Comments
