Comments please
I've been wanting to post this for quite some time but has always put it off , as I had more important things to attend to.
Although I am not an avid reader of blogs, there are times when I read someone's blog and has this strong desire to leave a comment, the comment link is nowhere to be found. Either that or I have to sign up in order to post a comment.
I guess I'm quick to judge others and often want to state my viewpoints, especially opposing ones. I want to prove them wrong and show them their errors or faults. More importantly, I get to know the person more, if s/he did reply to my comments. I think it all boils down to one thing: I like to jump up and say, "Hey, you're wrong! Let me tell you what's right... Blah, blah"
For this reason, I had refrained from signing up to forums. The only forums that I had used are the Mindef Forums when I was serving my conscription term and the forums provided by NUS to facilitate sharing of thoughts. If I have a forum account, I think I'd get into debates and arguments with everyone. Critical and unforgiving, my posts tend to fish out the weaknesses in people's arguments and exploit them as platform for launching my verbal assault.
As much as I'd like to comment on others, I also welcome comments on me. And this is precisely why my blog allows readers to leave anonymous comments.

I muz admit tat you have aroused my interest to read your blog. Your entries are definitely tot-provoking which can be rather interesting for someone like me who is facing emptiness in life temporarily...I hope...perhaps you are able to enlighten me...hee... At times when I dun see a new post, I will go awwww....but then again wats the point of posting an entry everyday when there is no substance. There are juz way too many blogs like tat, mostly complaints about their work, study, bf, gf or even family members.
I believe tat upbringing, environment and most importantly attitude moulds a person's character.

The more people speak, the less they hear each other. This is because the nature of words is to seperate.
Because words are of the mind, which classifies and differenciates. The mind does not know empathy.
Thus it is much more meaningful for people to sit in slience and listen to their own hearts. Through their hearts they may hear the hearts of others.
Through the hearts of others will they recognise the common heart in everyone of us.
If they do not hear from their own hearts, then what they say are from their own mind.
And the mind will never allow itself to be wrong. Ever. To be wrong is unthinkable. Thus it will not hesitate to pick up swords of words and do battle with those who claim it to be wrong.
The more people need to communicate, the more it shows that they are lacking true communication. Forums are dangerous signs of the times.
You are right. It is well advised to avoid the dragon's lair. Because no knight in his right mind will fight an unwinnable battle.

[To Santary and other readers]
I am glad you pointed it out. Unfortunately the message is not meant for you.
I am sorry to cause confusion - maybe next time I will send such comments privately.
