I cannot think of anything to blog about, but here I am blogging my little heart out. However, the very idea of not having an idea gives me an idea of what to blog about.
Years ago the masses looked to a select few for answers and commentary on daily events. This tended to keep things organized, less cluttered. Now, due to the Internet and the increasingly popular view of the “every man,” everyone’s opinion can be heard.
Most everyone in the public cannot wait to pull out his or her soapbox and begin telling it how it is. With all these messages flying this way and that, how do we know what to listen to? Today that question is becoming more and more difficult to answer.
Plus, all these opinions are chipping away at the idea of credibility. If there are millions of people out there telling me the way things are and what to believe as true then they all seem credible. If everyone sounds credible then no one sounds credible.
Should we tone back our voices to hear the more passionate ones? How do we know we do not have the better more passionate idea? Who should we listen to?
