Blogging way to Freedom

Many might not agree with how bloggers express their views but readers can only do so much. Like every document, this too have limitations. I am for responsible blogging and I am a supporter of free speech. Sometimes, people cannot handle the truth so they react without even seeing the merits of the blog. People cannot disprove the truth no matter what kind of excuse they give. Even the best liar is truthful at one point.

Recently, I came across observejudgeact’s blog. This blogger just started blogging last Sunday. He or she has an interesting way of going about his or her blog/s. I was texted by some friends to check the blog’s domain, www.akositomasino.wordpress.com. True that he or she  wrote about UST and all. Honestly, unlike some of my acquaintances, I welcome his views and points. Criticisms specially constructive ones must be welcome. In a democracy, that is the right of the people – power emanated from them by virtue of elections.

I had my fair share of those kind of criticisms in my two and a half years stint in the council. It is incumbent upon all elected student leaders to listen no matter how painful or “ego-hurting” it is. Listening makes a leader grounded on humility.

To Thomas More, welcome to blogging! Continue writing. This is the blogging way to freedom.
