Both Em...I read all the linked articles and posts. Both Emilys have a lot to think about and, now that I have read all that (and the comments, whew!), I have a lot to think about. <BR/><BR/>I am a blogger, but so boring and insignificant as to not be noticed. When I started blogging, I wanted lots and lots of people to see my blog and read it and leave comments. I even got a counter so I could see how many readers there were.<BR/><BR/>I've since decided that I don't like blogging about personal stuff -- I want my privacy. I have two other blogs on which I am completely anonymous; I like those much better.<BR/> <BR/>This is complicated. I'm wondering how to think about it.<BR/>It seems the height of conceit to believe that your personal life, your opinions, your children's experiences, etc. should be of interest to strangers. But we love to read about others and we do love to peer into other people's lives. "Hearing" another's story is good for human beings I think. And how sad would life be without books (other people's stories)?<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's the discussion that follows in the comment section that needs to be eliminated. If the commenters want their opinions heard, let them get their own blogs.<BR/><BR/>Sheesh! It IS complicated.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for always putting something out there that needs to be looked at, thought about, considered. <BR/><BR/>And thanks for leaving your personal lives out of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
