The Return of the Return of the Blog

Is a blog supposed to be a personal journal from a singular perspective or a well researched publication on the internet? 

Why do people take one person's opinion as their own? Why is self-reflection so difficult? 

Does the self, or the ego, have to take the highest position in your life or can you submit to the needs, not merely wants, of others? 

If the purpose of government to settle grievances between two people, or groups of people, shouldn't it be done in the most compassionate and objective way possible? 

These are just some of the questions I have had and pondered without blogging about them. Maybe I should have. Maybe I should have not had fear of manifesting those ideas. Even the awkward, unpopular, previously covered, or retread ideas need to be clarified for some individuals, because they may be encountering them for the first time. 

Just because the majority have an understanding of the why there is no justification to answer the question again with fear and derision. That is how we get conflict and confrontation. That is how we get the push and shove politics of disrespect. 

I don't have any further answers, but maybe posing this idea will help someone else take it further.
