"The Infamous Online Journals"- quoted from Ms. Platon

I know a lot of people who have online journals. It may be in livejournal, blogspot, xanga or tabulas but it is still the same journal wherein you broadcast your feelings, emotions, opinions, rants and some other random facts about you to everyone who has access in internet. I, too, have one in blogspot.

Let us go back to the old-fashioned times where a diary is a diary where we write personal random facts and we do not let anybody to get even just a glimpse of it except, of course, our bestest friends. Is it not ironic that now we even put these journals, which is a sort of a diary too, online and we complain when a person comes bashing you right in your face?

But speaking from my own point of view, there is nothing wrong to have an online journal of your own. The journal itself is not the problem but the person using it might just be the one who has the problem. Yes, excuse yourself that it is "your own blog", "you have your own rules" and "mind your own businesses for crying out loud" but the point is, the way you write, the things you write and the expressions you use are actually read and seen by anyone who has access in internet and this can cause a big fuss. So be cautious of what you write because you do not want the person reading it to jump into conclusions of what kind of person are you. If you do not like to be bombarded by the things that can hurt you or if you do not want to get into any crappy troubles then shift back to the old-fashioned way. Get a diary!

I have been victimized by some rude, selfish people who write unconsciously about people they do not even know. I tell you, what you are doing is character deformation and if you stick to "hey, this is my blog and I write what I want", you are definitely going down. You are absolutely clueless that technology has eaten you alive. This is however the bad side of having online journals because some people now a days are tackless and insensitive.

In contrary to that, I am aware of the things I put online and I am cautious whenever I write my entries in my blog because I believe to the saying "Do not do unto other what you do not want them to do unto you"
