a thank you note from my good fren prof chester coronel & his family of West Mindanao State University (WMSU) Zamboanga City, Autonomous Mindanao, The Philippines, when I last gave a public lecture there...10 days have gone by...much has happened. Politically, socially, at work & play, at the home front and at the global stage. Sometimes you are not sure what is right or alright to blog your entries. Would it be politically incorrect? Would it hurt other people's feelings? Would it be too self-serving and only to angle on promoting oneself? Or would it just be something or a medium to vent your frustrations, fears, angers or jubilance? What? What? What?) or to just register your disgust with others or life in general? Those are the usual dilemmas, paradoxes criss-crossing one's minds all the time. Or you just say to yourself...aaah forget it who cares? It's always a thin line and a grey area being private and being open and disclosing stuff on your blog. Risk factors, especially in the current global financial meltdown, can be real. You really never know who is monitoring you online. Some will say, aah who reads your blog anyway? Still, that risk factor, is real. While I sit back to recompose and reconfigure all these muddle....perhaps these words from Soren Kierkegaard, either/Or might help...hehe
'If I were to wish for anything I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of what can be, for the eye, which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure dissapoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating as possibility?' - Soren Kiergaard, Either/Or
