No Comment

I enjoy my little blog. I write for one reason... entertainment. I entertain myself, and on occasion, I hope I entertain someone else. I enjoy checking back on my posts to see if there are any comments. Basically, I just want to know if anyone was entertained enough to make the effort to respond. Nothing more... Nothing less.

I also check in on a few other blogs. I read. I move on. A few weeks ago I decided to cease commenting. Basically, I read an entry of someone that I know and I was offended at the post. Not their fault. It's their entry and they can write whatever they want. I thought about commenting and then decided that if I had anything of value to say, I should call them directly rather than respond on a public site.
I decided that I have nothing of value to say and so I did not call. No comment.

So, weeks later, I am still stewing in my own confusion and frustration. I've become more sensitive towards this person.

Lesson #3: A late comment is better than no comment.

Perhap I should comment on a post entitled "no commment", but hey I'm always one to throw in my two cents. Personally if I had offended someone on my blog I would appreciate them saying something to me. I have no desire to offend anyone with what I write, so if I happen to I would like the chance to apologize.

I also think that it is wise to think through what you want to say, so waiting a bit before responding probably isn't bad.

Proverbs 15:28
"The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things."

To say something is also important since reproof is how we learn and gain understanding.

Proverbs 15:32
"He who neglects discipline despises himself, but he who listens to reproof acquires understanding."

(guess what chapter of the Bible I read today)
