As I “put pen to paper”, so to speak, I am choked by a fear. It’s not the fear of failing at this whole blog thing, or that I won’t get any readers. This fear stems from the firm belief I’ve held that in order to blog about something, one must know what the heck they are writing about. In other words, one must not only have an opinion, but be willing to share said opinion for the whole world to see. This alone is cringe worthy, but the fear runs much deeper. Because after the whole world has read your opinion, they then form their own opinion of your opinion, and then you must be ready and willing to defend your opinion. Well, let me tell you right now. I don’t want to defend my opinion. Because the reality is, my opinion changes from year to year, day to day, and sometimes moment to moment.
For example, on a small scale, say you are twenty one years old, and twenty minutes ago, it was your opinion that the last shot of tequila was a fantastic idea…fast forward to praying over the porcelain god, who is now your best friend ‘john’, and it is likely your fervent opinion that the tequila was the devil in a shot glass.
