Glorified Evil

When I was contemplating writing a blog, I was told by Scott
that it should be for your own self. But is it possible to keep the
readers out of your mind? Is it possible to post independent of the
thought that someone might be reading this thing, this thought so
private to your mind. And does the virtual presence of that reader not
alter your very thought process? So that you can never truly put down
unadulterated thought into a blog; to extend this further I believe one
cannot really express unadulterated thought in language. The moment we
try to bind some emotion or thought in words, we change it, for no
words can capture in its entirity the complete nuances of even a single
thought. The very attempt of expression alters the thought itself.

Language can at best, express an estimate of what the reality is. And
under the guidance of an accomplished artist, the medium does estimate
the idea/emotion to a great degree. but Reality, can only be felt,
lived, never expressed, explained or described. (Quantum physics has a
direct analogy to this which I find very amusing - that the very act of
measurement alters reality)

Its late and I should sleep, but before I leave, — its heartening to see people like Mukhtar Mai who keep their courage in the face of adverse circumstance and gross social injustice.
