It is said that essays began with Montaigne’s “Essais”. He is said to have confined himself to his tower and devoted himself to contemplation and writing, except for taking walks. His motive for starting to write was to leave a half-written suicide note to his friends, telling them that the man he was dating (Montaigne) was a man who thought like this and was like this.
As you know, that was published before his death and became very popular.
Nowadays, essays have become blogs, and social networking sites allow them to spread instantly. I am not a professional, but I am a person.
I believe that just as there is no higher or lower rank in one’s occupation, there is no higher or lower rank in one’s words (although there are some higher or lower ranks), so naturally, there is no higher or lower rank in the content of a blog.
In a world where social networking services have become widespread, choosing whether or not to read a blog is an indispensable skill. In other words, writing about your daily life, such as what you ate or where you traveled every day, and writing about lofty metaphysical texts are qualitatively the same, and it is a matter of how you read them.
So, whether you take in a lot of information and input good information from it, or whether you shut out all the social networking stuff and go for the information you think you need, that is up to you. I think it depends on the person’s way of thinking.
When you are doing notebooks like this, you can get a sense of a person’s personality not only from their individual articles but also from the overall atmosphere of the site.
When you have 100 or 200 articles, I think you can get a better sense of a person than with a photograph. In this day and age, you can lie as much as you want with photographs.
People make judgments about a person based on the overflow of information. Of course, there is nothing better than meeting someone in person, but even so, people can still be fooled. So, I still think that the best way to determine a person’s authenticity is to see what he or she is thinking.
A woman I know who is looking for a marriage partner, more than her educational background and appearance, not only has more than 1,000 followers on Twitter, but she has more than 1,000 followers anyway. I have heard that she lists more than 1,000 tweets as her first requirement, which I thought was a sensible requirement in a way.
I certainly don’t think 1,000 tweets would lie.
If you want people to know “what you think and what kind of person you are,” or if you want to gain socially from it, I think the need to do some kind of social networking will be even greater in the future.
However, I think it is also possible to think that you don’t need to let people know what you think. I don’t want people to know what I think, and I don’t want them to know what kind of person I am.
Because if you are recognized by society and expose yourself, it will be troublesome and troublesome, and you will be exposed to condemnation at times. I think there are many people who don’t want that. I don’t want to be known. In other words, the right not to be known. This will also become more important in the future. How to live in this dichotomous trend? I am sure that those who decide quickly will be able to live comfortably.
See you soon.
