Let me start off indicating I have no direct plan for the direction of this blog. I'm thinking however that we have moved into such a hybrid world of online and offline communication. Again I am not trying to address patterns or changes in society for example. However if you look at the number of people that are online socially it's crazy big. Now why are we online. Surely we can pick and choose who we want to communicate with offline via the telephone, in person or even email. You can IM them, text them there is a unlimited venue to reach out to the people you choose to reach. Now Facebook and other social networking sites have given us the freedom to reach out others.
The reality is like your everyday life offline and now online you can pick and choose. You may choose not to communicate with certain people and you have that choice just like in everyday life. The difference is you don't have to be as polite you don't accept their friend invitation, you don't have to respond to anything. Now don't get me wrong you don't have to accept any of that in the real world either. However it's alot easier to say no online.
Also you have every right to do so. I don't know if that is a good choice or a bad one. Only you know that answer.
I can tell you from my own experience is that I have decided to not block out anyone. I will give them the respect they deserve as long as they do the same to me as well. Why do you ask would I friend people that were not my friends 10 years ago or more. You know what we have all evolved and I hope and pray that they think I have evolved as well. Think about it, if they are willing to reach out why should you not be willing to accept. And you know what you should reach out as well. Nobody is perfect and we have all made mistakes and evolved in this new world.
I can go down this avenue for ever. The fact is I was an ass to many people, and I'm not asking for forgiveness or special treatment. I'm not even asking they accept my apology. I'm only asking that they consider it.
Now the reality is that we can only manage so much communication. We have to work it out online and again offline.
The did it go empty comment titles falls into many things. My point is you had 100 classmates in h.s. or junior high or elementary. No the class wasn't that big but your reach was. Were all of them to become friends that would be great and fantastic but we all know that didn't happpen.
The sad part of this is, many of those people just wanted to accepted and treated as friends. Again I have said I'm guilty of being such a person. I'm older now and I know that I made mistakes.
The other interesting part is the number of h.s. friends that stopped communicating. So again i say did the well go dry. Let's ask ourselves how often do we see them or how often do we reach out to them. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rules but think about it. If you have 20 names to reach out to via email, phone etc. please do so. I think you will be glad you did.
Again this blog is freeflow and I'm just winging it. The fact is we may only be as good as our last friend. Also for another blog let's talk friendship and what that really means to become a life partner in friendship.
Drink some water the well as is not empty but please think about how to keep it full
