My Worry about Being Jaded

My Worry about Being Jaded
I see many bad things on the planet.

I sometimes worry about becoming jaded and insensitive, I worry one day I will stop feeling.

A few comments from readers has shown me who I am and who they are.

I reject an increasing number of comments from truly jade people. (Humurous to think an anonymous person can think they are important.)

There are times to listen, there are times to look, there are times to hear, and there are times to feel. There is a time when a person should not feel too much.

There is humor in life, and there is sadness, however at the end of the day I want to know if I can look at both evil and good things and not make unfair judgments and enforce judgment when needed.

The readers of my blog are not as important to me as the people who are really in my life. There are people I meet everyday, real people, good and bad, and these people are what is important in my life.

There is internet world, this blogging world, and I continually learn this world is not real.

What is real are the people I meet everyday of the week as I wander around the planet.

I have made some good friends by email, and appreciate these friends.

I see an ever-increasing jaded world of readers, they do not trust anything, they do not believe in anything, they mistrust and think everyone is trying to snooker them. Maybe there are so many people in these people lives who lie and cheat to them, they are now incapable of believing in anyone or anything.

I still have the capacity to see the good in people; I can talk without having an agenda. I can think and feel the world. I also know I am not so macho that I have to pretend all is great, all is wonderful, or write about the world as a fantasy.

A few readers need to get a life; it is amazing to me how many find pleasure in this unreal world of the internet, and have no true life experiences.

The world is not out to get anyone, the world is good.
Life is good.

Hi Andy,Well I think that you being aware of becoming jaded is evidence enough that you probably won't become jaded. I think you can become insensitive to poverty and bad things. But it is natural to have a defense mechanism or we would all be crazy. Maybe you need not think of your own needs today and do something nice for someone that needs a helping hand. Your a pretty tough individual Andy from what I read about you. I'm glad your life is good. I was pretty jealous of you for a time being, but now I admire your courage. Hopefully if you do become jaded, someone will slap you back to reality.Cheers,Scott

I think when people give Andy a negative response or questions his intents he gets childish and takes down the comments that make him angry/jaded.He writes about these crazies and being jaded and posts comments only to take them down when they don't agree with his world. Well Andy it is your world, edit it as you please but I find it rather funny you take anonymous comments so seriously andothers peoples lives so trivial. Your blogs seem like Postcards to your high school class. Sort of like a small revenge to show how happy you are and how everyone must be miserable back home when it is obvious that it is you who long to go home,but have no way back.

Quote from last comment "A very different kind of travel blog for those of us who wish we could from someone who can ".I not 100 % sure if this guy travels all that much if at all. So many scams out there just to get that "GOOGLE DOLLAR" Funny how you never see "ANDY" just some random picture of the day to write about. Makes you think ? Videos well maybe from past trips ? Cut them up into 2 minute clips and one trip a year could fill plenty of talking points and oh ya don't forget to mention google every month to remind the brain dead they need to donate by just clicking a AD and they have done there part to keep the blog going. OK Andy I clicked you today. Even if you are a scammer and writing from some basement in Romania it is entertaining nonetheless.

the funny thing about this page is. if someone wants to click on submit a comment. he will mostly endup clicking the donate button. Again one of those glorious guilt trips may not have paid for. so be conscious enough to just do the math and submit.
