There was a Dosh Dosh article that suggest I should write as if no one was reading. It would, as Jay put it, “loosen my fingers”. However, I might forget to exercise restraint and go on an all out rant. I read some blogs that were filled with words of of hate and pain, it made me want to stick my brain in the freezer to cool myself off.

I read an entry by Jennifer at CatalystBlogger that reminded me to be professional when making a rant post. She has the same thinking as I do when I have a decision to write a negative post. What if one day someone reads my post and it happens to be my family, friend, or employer, and he/she gets offended? It could cost my relationship with them. So why should I put myself in that predicament?

Maybe it’s an age thing or personality thing. Or maybe it’s simply a courage thing. Some people have it, some people don’t. From my perspective, there are enough troubles in the world;  We don’t need to fan it further with angry words. It’s far worse when they lead to physical violence. It might be a tiresome cliché, but this world will be a better place if we all just get along. The very least, agree to disagree.

Thanks to Melissa at Writing Forward for the lead to Jennifer’s blog.
