Journaling on the web

“To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.”

To start, I feel that, on this small web level, one is unlikely to garner much attention. Secondly, if you’re speaking from a personal pov and are mindful of touchy topics, you’re unlikely to generate strong emotional responses / investment from people. Thirdly, some adversity is good. We should all be challenged and reflective. Even when that adversity is malicious, with harmful intent, I don’t believe that’s 100% a bad thing. It can be an opportunity to test our resolve, to improve ourselves (how we communicate or our inner balance or our empathy). An opportunity to reevaluate what’s important.

I agree with @manuelmoreale , this endeavor is a risk worth taking.

Another quote I like: “You cannot live your life in fear, or you will forsake the best parts of it.”
