Blogging and Jogging

 

Blogging is to writing what perhaps jogging is to running. At your own pace and basically for your own pleasure. Nevertheless the health benefits would still be there, whether it is jogging or blogging.

There are n number of posts about blogging (including mine) that would tell you n+1 number of reasons for doing so. Blogging helps you enhance your writing skills. Blogging improves your mind-mapping ability. Books made out of blogs are selling like hot cakes etc etc...

Each major publisher's or manufacturer's site now also includes a blog. This gives them freedom to upload teasers and adventitious content in this informal reportage.

Considering the overwhelming numbers blogs are pouring in, Philosophy of Blogging may itself become a discipline in its own right.

Adding yet another blog to the expanding blogosphere may have negligible impact on the sphere but it still remains a Philosophical Act.

"The philosophical act is always in the form of a decision, a separation, a clear distinction. Between knowledge and opinion, between correct opinions and false opinions, between truth and falsity, between Good and Evil, between, wisdom and madness, and so on." (-Alain Badiou)
