Why do I care

Social media posts

Not as often anymore but once in a while I decide to post some opinion I have long held. I usually choose Facebook for this. And I post to the list I have that excludes known arguers and quiblers.

I do not exactly know why I do this. Except. What happens is that something gets under my skin. It irks me. I can't stop thinking about it.

I set it aside. Then it comes up again. I start to write the post. I backspace . I delete. But eventually….fuck it. I post.

People respond. They make some good points..so do I. But a little voice tells me I've likely pissed someone or many someones off.

I used to enjoy fanning the flames..I used to see myself as a truth teller, as a person who should speak out.

Now mostly I try to amplify voices that are not heard..that are drowned out.

So why, do I post on occasion these rants on social media?

It's that damn irksome gets under my skin feeling. So I post the thing. And I read and respond to comments. The current count is 32 comments. And they're interesting. They don't change my mind. In fact they cement my reasoning. Maybe my point of view makes a few people question their actions. I don't know.

These rants are usually about something small, not worth expenditure of time or energy.

And in the past, i've been so wrong on some of these rants. To the point where I've had to apologize.

And yet…I do this. I post. I rant. I can be so fucking annoying at times.
