so i've been catching up on some web-reading on random things and i found a particular blog entry on palestine. there are many entries pertaining to palestine, from both muslims and jews. its interesting to look at how both perceive the problem differently. whats all the more interesting and i find quite disturbing is that how muslims (not living in palestine) find the issue so small, petty and tend to talk about in simplistic terms. ive never really blogged my own opinions about such things because i dont really know whats going on. i mean who are we, so called spectators, watching from afar, suddenly start spewing out ideas about a "solution". first of all we dont even know the in depth complexity of the matter and secondly its all easy for us to say because we're not there. we're not subjected to all those human rights violations that the palestinians face day in and day out... im not saying stop blogging about palestine and the isssue at hand, indeed that is something we as ppl frm afar can do, we can write and inform about the problems. just dont simplify things.
moving on... having read some stuff and other ppls blogs ive been thinking about my own and the direction that this blog is going. call me conceited but some of the opinions i convey in some of my posts are pretty alright and in line with what i read thats out there in this world wide web. so im thinking i want to publicise my writing more, use certain platforms to make it more "well known". but then comes the issues of how my blog is my personal space to rant, i mean i am making it known publicly but because this blog is just read by family n friends i dont feel the pressure to be highly opinionated. if this blog had a clearer guideline or more focused direction than perhaps it would be a wise decision to publicise it.
i thought of making another blog, a more serious one. i was thinking it could have book reviews (although i dont read that many books that ppl would be interested in LoL), movie reviews, news reviews, current affairs etc etc. or i could have a more islam-centred blog too, to be honest i dont know. ive always lacked coherence hahaha but seriously thats a big problem i face, i cant organize my thoughts properly. when i was in A-Levels my english lit teacher used to say i organize my points appropriately obviously that was only for that subject. i think im all over the place and i cant summarize. as much as i would love to cut a story short i cant, and thats a major setback i only saw during my shortlived internship at nst.
seeeeee ive lost my train of thoughts again, ive strayed frm the topic at hand. the thing is i want to have a better known blog but im so self-critical that i dont think this blog is good enough that i want a make a new one. but i can bet you a 1000 bucks i'll say that, that blog is just as bad. so back to square one, what is it exactly that i want?
