Ins and Outs of my Life

Censorship Journals

The debate among some on the site is wheather one should censor what they write in their journals. I think as long as it is marked private, you can write whatever. But if you have it there for others to read on public access, you have a responsiblity. True, the journal is yours and you should be able to write in it your feelings and whatever. But not to the extent that it hurts someone else. The truth is a lot of people want people to read their journals. If they didn't they wouldn't be putting it on public. So, while we write to ourselves-- aren't we in a sense writing to everyone else too? I know with me it varies. Sometimes I am just writing it as it comes to my mind and so I will have a reference to look back on later. Other times I am venting about someone-- even if it isn't right to. Other times I am just writing things but for others to read too. So what do you think? Yeah, I am talking to you out there-- not myself!!
