Has it ever occurred to you how many occasions that you have been in discussion with Bloggers who eventually reveal who they truly are?
If blogging is anything else it also is considered a personal reflection of the Blogger from his published articles and/or comments. How many Bloggers have failed miserably in understanding the value of the blog media let alone their own personal value?
Granted that there are uncountable reasons why anyone would wish to blog. These reasons alone is not being evaluated. What is being evaluated is the Blogger and his ethics.
Geoffrey Chaucer: The Canterbury Tales ‘The Knight’s Tale’
No matter how one sees it, the Blogger whatever he writes, these two are inseparable.
To a large extent, the anonymity that the Internet affords, it adds more bravado to the Blogger. It is this veil that enables the Blogger to mask himself for reasons he knows. And that assumes whether in the first instance they really know their own self.
I write about the HYPOCRITE BLOGGER. This should instantly make it clear what this Article is all about.
Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks
Invisible, except to God alone.
John Milton: Paradise Lost
Just for the sake of making a statement, I shall quote directly from the Oxford English Dictionary.
hypocrisy
• noun (pl. hypocrisies) the practice of claiming to have higher standards or beliefs than is the case.
What are the characteristics of the HYPOCRITE BLOGGER?
From my experience, these are a few of Hypocrite Blogger characteristics:
- Bloggers who pompously serve advice to others without understanding the root cause of the issue and themselves fail miserably in executing their just advice.
- Bloggers who offer sweet nothings and are never heard of ever again.
- Bloggers who run from pillar to post in whichever direction the wind blows stronger.
- Bloggers who condemn fellow Bloggers with a fiendish motive and without proof.
- Bloggers who ask for help but turn their heads away when it is their turn to help.
- Bloggers who deviously gather information about someone else and without the latter knowing that (s)he is being dissected like a laboratory specimen; later to be abused.
- Bloggers who never fail to produce that unmistakable aura around themselves that truth and knowledge is only beholden with them.
- Bloggers who behave as though they have never sinned in their life.
- Bloggers who merely wish to get close because of ulterior motives.
- Bloggers who do not have a mind of their own.
- Bloggers who form their own blogger-clan to malign others.
- Bloggers who use their Blog as leverage to inflict their scorn and do it without justification.
The world will give thee credit for the rest.
Outward be fair, however foul within;
Sin if thou wilt, but then in secret sin.
Charles Churchill: Night
“Nosce te ipsum”
In plain English, it means Know Thyself.
Was it not Socrates who said the most important thing in life is to know your self? He meant that Knowledge of Self is the starting point of personal and spiritual growth
In this passage that Einstein once said, it uncannily personifies the Hypocrite Blogger that I write about.
Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else. And what a person thinks on his own without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of other people is even in the best case rather paltry and monotonous. There are only a few enlightened people with a lucid mind and style and with good taste within a century. What has been preserved of their work belongs among the most precious possessions of mankind. We owe it to a few writers of antiquity (Plato, Aristotle, etc.) that the people in the Middle Ages could slowly extricate themselves from the superstitions and ignorance that had darkened life for more than half a millennium. Nothing is more needed to overcome the modernist’s snobbishness. (Albert Einstein, 1954)
Also, if I may also borrow a word that someone used in his appraisal for the submissions at my Blogoversary Writing Contest last year – MEDIOCRITY. That is yet another thing akin to hypocrisy.
By damning those they have no mind to.
Samuel Butler: Hudibras
Mediocre bloggers over-populate Blogosphere. Time and time again, without fail, these mediocre Bloggers have nothing better to offer than what either offends them or they pursue hell bent to blog-whip others or manipulate blogger friendliness for self gain and Blog gain.
Hypocrisy rules in Blogosphere.
General Santos Time

@RECEL:
Sis,
What is essential is we know ourselves. People could speculate on stuffs and everything that we share in our blogs, at the end of the day, it is ourselves that is responsible for whatever we share at the blogs, be it in the form of article or comments.
Mingawon man pud ta ana imong mga posts, Sis kung maglie- low ka. Pero sige lang, take your time.

I hope and pray you won’t, too. But in case you do, be very prepared. For all you know, they show the sweetest smiles and the sweetest words. Behaviors can be very misleading.
