What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
Unfortunately I know that my blog will only reach a small number of people. Those that it does reach are those that share my values and will in most cases agree with what I say. So preaching to the converted.
Past blogs on Chatter have dealt with many issues most pertaining to the place that I live in. The biggest response with over 1000 views was an open letter to a young man who was advocating violence on a local radio station. I’d like to think that it did make him think and I have noted that he had indeed realised that violence is not the way.
I’ve written about the attitude to the LBGT community as a grandmother with a gay grandchild. Live and let live being the message.
Sadly there are too many blogs nowadays and it’s almost impossible to make an impression among those who have lots of followers.
Feeling impotent about making any great changes I find myself writing less and less but if it changes just one mind I’ll take that as a win.
This platform has awakened the want to write but as the title suggests I’m not naive and I know it’s hard to change views, as people are afraid of change, happy to go along with the status quo.
