WWW

http://WWW - The Whole Wide World.

The book of Proverbs offers more wisdom re spoken words than I know how to remember, much less practise. But consider the similarity between escaped words (from our lips) and the hasty (reply) emails and less-than well-thought-out blogs!

The “publish” command is much more danger than the spoken word. In those “olden days” when we laborious, cautiously scripted out our thoughts on paper with indelible ink, we recognized that “putting things in print” can be beneficial--but also very damaging and regrettable.

“Send” has left many a regret and imparted multitudes of misunderstandings. And made fools of “the best of us”!

Diaries and journals used to be for private introspection. Today they are often thrown to wind and cast upon the waters of time for the whole wide world to read … now and forevermore!

Bloggers are many, but lurkers outnumber them … and for a good reason!

Something to consider!
