What do you think?

I did a bit of surfing yesterday - not the literal kind, but linking on to new people who had made interesting comments on the folks I normally read. In doing this, I happened upon a comment that was a bit terse, and I decided to see what the blog was like. I am not sure if what I happened upon was a real blog - where a person was venting the "not so beautiful parts" of their feelings - or if it was made up. But it was the comments that slayed me. They were nasty - full of piss and vinegar because the things this person was expressing were not filled with goodness and light. Whether or not it was real seems irrelevant to me - this is supposed to be a place where we can vent - and dream - and create - and find other souls who think and feel and love. It makes me wonder if someone found my other blog - the place where I write down the ugly thoughts and fears that are not for public consumption - what they would think of me - without the mask of propriety - with my secrets showing. Being human means we are both darkness and light - and that we go through times where what we think isn't pretty - but does that give us the right to pounce on someone - man, I hope not.
