It has been a while since I last wrote anything on this here blog. Why has it been so long? Well, the reasons are numerous, but I suppose the most important of all is my own laziness which I shall not deny. True, I have been swamped with a lot of work lately, but that is just a sorry excuse, for I have had more than enough opportunities to type something to be put up here; I just did not take them. I have been thinking a lot about this blog and how it has evolved into whatever it is now. It used to be something very personal, dealing with things that I myself was going through, but it started changing and becoming something a lot more...holistic, perhaps? It deals with different things now, not necessarily about myself, but more towards things that come up now and then, or things that are not so apparent, under the radar... I suppose it reflects a little of my own growth and change these past three, four years or so. More importantly, it is about finding a voice. It is about saying things that a person believes to be important, and not simply to appeal, but to provoke, to support, to instigate, and to encourage; to inspire. It becomes a matter of spreading of faith, but not preaching, for what is being said deals not with matters of religion, but of matters of humanity and life itself.
Sometimes it is about seeing certain aspects of the world and realising that change is sorely needed. That alone is not enough, for if wishes were sugar, we would have long died of diabetes. It is about the willingness to take the effort that one sees as truly necessary towards catalysing that change. It is not an easy task, and at most times it may seem impossible, but we must never forget that the one thing we are well-known for is the process of change...its the defining trait of human history, and, for better or worse, it is the one thing that we remember best.
The more I think about it, the more it seems to make sense as to what I am trying to do with all the stuff that I put on this blog. Instigating Change...calling for change. Why? Well, I could quote a thousand different reasons, but the one that truly matters is, well, because I see something that is really not right somewhere. At least not to me. I can never pretend to think that what I believe to be right and wrong applies to everything and everyone; to do that itself would be very, VERY wrong. No, my values are the ones that apply from my eyes alone, and it could just as easily be wrong as it is right. However, as long as I see something that sees wrong to me, regardless of where I look at it from, then I must do what I can to call for change, if not for complete betterment, then at least for a slight improvement which might later bring on a greater change.
Lately, I cannot really think of anything much that has been disturbing me much that I would want to call for serious change or anything. To be honest, it has more to do with me than what has been going on out there in the world. I have had the most wonderful three weeks of my life (and also by far, one of the most tiring). Well, I cannot really put down the reasons for that over here, but suffice to say that it is one of the reasons for my being invisible on this blog for a long long time.
