On Opinions...And Then Some More

It's been, well, a long time since I started this blog out of boredom, curiosity and the pure desire to just write. I managed to satiate all those things, and in the process also garnered a lot of appreciation, criticism (and also a helluva lot of spam) in the form of comments and my 'ingeniously' included feature of rating posts. Inspiration, interest and availability of time played a serious role in determining the frequency of posting. But in spite of my long drawn absence from the blogging scene over the past two years, I still see a strong influx of visitors on the page. I've got to say, it feels great. Come on. I am human after all. (Or am I? Hmm, well. Guess this shows God loves attention as well).

This isn't one of those 'hearfelt Thank You' notes that famous people seem to include sometime or the other in their work (and neither does this sentence imply that I consider myself even remotely famous, though it's nice to toy with such a prospect). It is more of an acknowledgement of just how much a few of your words, for the many that I write, mean to me. Even if you're out there to pan my prose, it's a standpoint nonetheless. That's the beauty of opinionated writing. Along with giving your take on things, it amasses opinions, both negative and positive at an (almost) equal scale.

A useful note for everyone. I hardly associate with most of my previous writing anymore. People change and so do their perspectives. It's all a matter of time. Everyone, most of all, the less experienced, dabble in immaturity from time to time. Once you've seen more of the world, it allows for the formation of new as well as modification of existing stances. So judging or defaming my personality based on the silly opinions I put forth is not only sillier, but also an unncessary exercise.

Continuing with character analysis (just 'cause I'm enjoying it so), under normal circumstances, what remains constant is your set of morals and values. Beliefs strengthen, or weaken to allow the fortification of a new set. In such a case, the new belief set is accompanied by the confidence that changing over will do you good. Alongside, if you permit it to happen, your capabilities only grow, They, of course in the case of invincible me, proliferate limitlessly. ;)

But then again, these are opinions yet again. Keep checking back. I look forward, as always, to your invaluable comments on all past, present and future posts.
