Why I don't Like Blogging

There weren't many reasons... but each of them is huge . 

1. Just as as mirror, it reflects you, and so, just like a mirror, it has a strong pull towards narcissism. 

2. History can start limiting and defining you. The same, I think, can be said about well document thoughts. They can start limiting your future thinking or biasing it. 

3. Every human has a strong desire to be known and understood. Blogging can be an unhealthy expression of that. 

4. If at all your blog makes you "known" by many, being known by many is a dangerous thing. Not many handle it well. 

Why I like blogging

1. It is creative. I like creativity.

2. The world, with all its messages, talks to me all the time. ALL THE TIME. This is my way of talking back to it. I love the fact that the world has access to it. 

3. There are so many things to say, but whom are they to be said to? Who is the audience? Friends? But there is only so much you can talk with friends, only so much you can burden them with / bore them with. Blogging lets the audience decide if they want to continue listening to you. 

4. When you write, you preserve a mind. It can be helpful in the future.

5. Though biased, it is a semi-decent reflection of who you are - to yourself and to the world. 
6. Writing/blogging is like crying in that It is an emotional release. You stay less complicated once you write.  

A dozen reasons to why I like watching movies in the cinema halls

1. They are entertaining, and I like being entertained.

2. Going to the cinema hall is expensive in terms of time and money. I think entertainment should come at a reasonable cost.

3. Unlike television, this environment is controlled. You generally don't switch to another channel/movie when one is done.

4. Talking about movies is an excellent way to engage people in conversations... especially with people you meet the first time, like on an air plane. What movies people like, tells me a lot about who they are.

5. Rotten tomatoes! You get a decent idea about what to expect.

6. Censor ratings - they help you sift.

7. Putting our butts to rest and being overawed by something spectacular is what we will be doing in Heaven. If not a lot, atleast a small part of why we like watching moviesand why movies of a certain kinda re made is that we are spiritual beings. (Or, I would say that that fact that we like movies, stories, fiction shows us that we are spiritual.). Some movies remind me of that. They make me long for the better.

8. It gives me a good picture of where the world is at, what it finds exciting. It helps, kinda like reading a newspaper.

9. Most movies ( or the movies I tend to watch) have a message. I like it when genuine people have a genuine message to give. Even I have one.

10. Daily living tends to get me focussed on really small things... about me and my life and how things are not working out. Movies can get me focussed on the larger picture. I like that.

11. Somewhere, at the back of my head, the reason I watch movies is that when I meet someone like me who genuinely likes movies/stories I can take the joy in agreeing with him and then genuinely say,  "Jesus Christ is so much better".

12 Because my father and my grandfather likes / liked watching movies. I think I got this from them.
