Reflections: The madness of life

by The Goldfish Bowl

Created on: November 21, 2008

My introduction to a blog was through a news item,in the daily paper.It had an effect, which must have been the same as for the other readership;stark scandalizing!It depicted all that there should be, to make it a paradigm of the madness of life!The news item vivisected the blog to bits.The name of the institution was not given, but all that was said about, around and in it, gave a fairly good idea, which institution was being talked about.This at once made me think of the" dark" world category you would easily put the power of a blog into, the world of" bats and dark denizen" of the night.For the assassination here and assassination it was! Of the character of an institution!Of the workers, who went into the making of it.This made me unconsciously put the sign of "skull and crossbones" against the meaning of "blog".A "blog" is a dangerous practice, thought the first time "I".

This blog was the cry of a terribly hurt soul.For feeling so much hurt,surely he must be very sensitive.But then how come such a sensitive person was so very gross too.Vulgar, filthy, hostile and vindictive.These highly "visually"descriptive adjectives were blinkering' all over the blog.He was not fine tuned at all.If he were he would have blogged differently.He lay like a wounded beast, and as the memories of his workmates came by he lashed out at them.Sometimes his blog showed he tried to take it with a pinch of salt.But this act flopped.And the pinch' of the phrase literally pinched the wounds acutely.The salt' fell upon the wounds, and the intensity and the volume of the painful cry grew, till it seemed "air wolf" came rumbling out of its deep cavern and out and away on a mission to settle the score with the offenders of the poor guy!

The trouble with the seeing or hearing of something filled with sensationalism is,that the storyline is missed.So after a coupla deliberately slow and calmed down readings I understood this blog' s story.The poor guy was inadvertantly responsible for causing a loss/damage to his department.I do not recall the mode of his punishment, suspension or fine?But the point is he did not mind the punishment so much.He was accused, formally, coldly and in writing.But the entire staff, from top to bottom of his so called department ganged up on him.They did not let him speak, they did not give him any chance to explain.They did not giggle, titter or give him sly glances and they did not pass any sleazy remarks.They just ignored him.As soon as he approached them,
