What is this web blogging?

It seems that these days, more and more people are keeping journals on line. For those who wish others to take a peek at their writings, it is presumably called web blogging.
Blogging has been around for some years now, maybe even longer. The activity seems to fulfil some need in humans, at least the literate ones. Blogging can be a healing process.
It gives solace to those who wish to express their inner selves and not care whether strangers like their views or not, that is, the blog articles are read at all. It has been alleged that many web bloggers are journalists.
I suppose it is some kind of "experimental station" for them. Perhaps it is an exercise to hone their writing skills.
Some web bloggers whose opinions are highly valued for their incisive and indepth analysis, there is some financial rewards. The successful ones have advertisers jumping onto their blog sites to advertise their products or services. Thus, the blog site does earn some income for the writer.
Web blogging unfortunately has its dark side. Some writers with anarchic leanings are known to spread lies and misinformation to suit their own agenda. Even though most of us are aware that blogging is a privilege which should not be abused, it happens nevertheless.
The good thing is we as Internet surfers do not have to read what we don't agree with. Hence, we can just skip the rotten ones and move on to the next site that we can derive some benefit from. That's the wonder of choice and the world wide field of dreams that's called the Internet.
It is presumed that web blogging has generated more positive results than bad. For that we should be thankful.
Why bother to blog? The answer is why bother to be curious. It is in man's nature to leave some part of himself somewhere, whether be it be in writing or contribution in the form of art or financial empire, or even in the form of children. The list is endless.
Web blogging has recently changed the face of human activities. Its possibilities are infinite. For writers, it is the mother lode. We can say what we want, do what we want and as long as we want.
What if nobody notices what we do? Will that be an ego-bashing exercise? No. Simply because the writer who is not noticed benefits because the exercise of engaging in blogging activity is therapeutic.
There's nothing so healthy like shouting in the wind - not spitting at the wind though because the sputum may just fly back into your own face.
Therefore, we can safely conclude that web bloggin is here to stay. Stick to it. There's no need for any agenda. You don't need guidelines. You don't need an audience.
You may not get anything from anybody but you have the opportunity of listening to your own voice. Every individual is unique. Web blogging opens the window to your creative self which may have laid dormant for decades. It is waiting to emerge to see the light in your soul.
Who knows your writing may alter the course of someone's life - for good!
