Our title is itself a book's and the first sentence, see that after the comma, is in its front flap by journalist Scott Rosenberg. Let's take some more words from it and share here. Blogging brought the Web's native character into focus---convivial, expressive, democratic. Bloggers have become the curators of our collective experience, testing out their ideas in front of a crowd and linking people in ways that broadcasts can't match. Blogs have created a new kind of public sphere--one in which we can think out loud together. The preceding paragraph is all in the book flap, front and back. It is the simplest answer if somebody is asking what a blog is, then and now. Although we see that as the magnanimous purpose of a blog which is really enticing and challenging. It adds choices and rooms for both sources and audiences without the regular prescriptive cadence. What's common is the responsibility. Whether or not we do it via blog, print and online news, and whoever ...
We are joined not to, as well as discouraged by our precocious and emphatic family members, friends, colleagues and even more from our leaders, or the laws and enforcers that sanctions, with our collective efforts to gather at full-capacity or fill our place crowded nowadays.
Even without laws we can still see and understand what needs to be done when it goes against our belief to being presentable to others, our freedom, pride including but not limited to faith. With all the sudden accessories of the face it might make some allergic and defiant. A bare face could be the only way to the detriment of the people around us.
When we are requested to be present in parties, not to enjoy, and we have to avoid being overly happy like the days we have been accustomed to before for the sake of rectitude. The manner is to show respect to the people who needs to celebrate holidays especially for those who have been afflicted by this pandemic. These people are our grandparents, siblings, children, colleagues, the sick and those who needs help and that holiday party can give further hope and meaning to their lives. That with such reason a celebration cannot be prevented, and we have to do it with caution.
At a party, people knows and follows social distance and since this a gathering that we know, decorum is second to none. We might forgo the singing, dancing and drunking but eating. And while eating, one must not speak. If one or the other needs to speak, they must pause eating, and before speaking, be certain that facemask and faceshield must be worn first.
We might be thinking that the laws created surrounding the pandemic is a way to get us all behave like robots, especially lockdowns which might be a matter most controversial to some, but then there are a lot more than that people have to take note about. It's our existence and so we can imagine to do and continue on things our way, with the assurance of safety and healthy workplaces and neighborhoods. And there is more.
Deferences to, or enforcement of, our laws which reminds, or somewhat restricts us to be bold toward the risks that made it now at the forefront of our lives, without doubt is, constructive and useful.
Admit it, everything that we do, with or without the rule of law, has had its own way of being controlled. During pandemic, just at this very present, we have to tighten up some unnecessary loose ends to grasp the moment for safety and well-being, if we can still say the word.
With all our actions we must be candid at all times, no excuses, and conflict shall be averted.
We have to try to protect ourselves, so that we can help others to protect more. Let's us respect, help and protect each other consciously.
