This entry is a confession about this Angry Young Man, a new realisation that has dawned on him having read a post by Vishal. Here's the link
Forgive me Father for I have sinned....
Forgive me Father for the comments on those diaries where I did differ with the person's view but said "Hey Great post...Hey Great work..I completely agree here....mind boggling stuff" and other pleasentaries, knowing that I strongly disagree with that individual. Did I hear Ego massaging?? Maybe
Give me strenght father, as those who read this remember those pleasentaries, my comments on their posts and now reach for the comment box to tell me" You fraudster, you fake... if didn't like what I've written why come there and be dishonest"
Forgive me father for having commented there for I have criticised MS often for being "politically correct" but have myself succumbed to an unwritten rule of not criticising the poster or his view as I was scared to lose an audience as I thought they did lack the maturity to handle a different point of view. For they too had encouraged me to write when I was new and alone here.
Father, Bless those who have been kind enough to have not pointed out the blunders I have committed with the english language that Vir Sanghvi has pointed here and who have tolerated and read throught the mess I've made. And as they read this, I can see them recounting the horror.
Forgive me father for those comments on those posts in which I didn't understand a thing, especially poems, because I lack an intellect to appreciate the finer things in life and also because my interests lie elsewhere,(curent affairs, politics, economincs, sports, entertainment) but chose to appreciate their work out of a sense of reciprocity. The "I pat your back so that I don't lose you as a viewer" feeling.
Forgive me father for I've have always enjoyed my solitary confinement, been shy, reserved, loved to be left alone and be on my long walks with my dose of caffine and nicotine but suddenly seem hopping to the next diary and commenting in the hope that I do build an audience..
But father please keep the forgivenes static, for I will commit the sins again. May I defend them O' Lord.
I have loved a lot of posts. It's great to know that theres a different view and some have expressed and agreed/disagreed. And yes like in the real world some have broken the clutter. And I've chosen to be regular there.Those who don not need the "bulletin" feature unless it's an important piece of information that needs to be shared.
I have to say hello at times. If not, Oh Lord Please ensure that I don't have to see that person in the morning I wish I didn't start my day with. So virtual world is like an extension of the real world. Maybe you just don't see the Face here!
Everyone needs a captive audience: Not because I need more "comment hits" but within all the self congrtltry/pat on the back stuff there are some interesting views that do emanate in the coveted comment chain that gets you thinking
"So you Idiot! you fake! The Raju of the virtual world! You said that I was good when I wasn't! And you waste time telling how we are a nation of hypocrites who don't go to vote!"
I can hear that coming O' Lord. Bless them as they've chosen to bear with this lenghty post and give me the strenght to face them.......
Edit: Seems I've conveyed a sense of depression but it's my usual pathetic attempt at some humour! ...;)
