Sighs....ah facebook. People use it for various reasons, to share their private lives, let others know what they are doing, share pics. I occasionally use it to share my thoughts. As educators we are encouraged to reflect on our practice. I dont have a personal journal and I dont really need one so if I decide to write it on facebook, its my choice right? Its my thoughts, my feelings and my opinions right? I think I am free to express myself. And if I decide to speak on certain matters and in general, how does that make me self righteous and judgmental? I clearly have different values and experiences from others and there are values and moral from others which I will never understand because it does not fall under the norm. If interpretations are made and your conscious is clearly bothering you then why even stand for what is wrong? I would like to believe and give the benefit of the doubt that deep down the wrong is recongnised, so what is going to be done? Why is everyone so afraid? I understand there is also the bigger picture to consider. Well I guess they painted a wrong picture of me and did not expect my actions or comments and guess what I make no apologies. At least now it is known I dont stand for nonsense and in instances when others are being manipulated and oppressed. I have a different social cognitive perspective and if it is preferred to have nothing to do with me, then so SO WHAT? Having certain people in my life does not change the price of coffee for me. And bringing up Islamic beliefs and teachings is null and void because clearly I have a different understanding. And I will always stand by what is right as much as possible even if my own family does not approve. I prefer to be honest with myself as much as possible and be brave and not hiding and pretentious. If I do something to hurt someone, most times I reflect on it and apologise if necessary but do others do that? So, I will post on future matters and use FB as my virtual journal. If you dont like it and want to delete me, like I said coffee same price! And experiences arent easily forgotten.
