Musing On My Letters

Musing On My Letters

My reader’s letters almost never could come in a place of honor in wellknown newspapers some 20-30 years ago and even till today. They were regarded so trivial, negligible, have no big issues, no big author’s name and were often rejected by the great, very important editors. My letters were received by “surat kabar kampungan” i.e. second grade news papers,  of the lower class, for uneducated, not well-read readers, placed in an almost unnoticed corner.

Yet, am I proud as my trivial matters, which were so negligible are still alive now and I believe will be in the future in my blog.  But many writings of the clever, educated, wellknown people, high class for high classers, might be forgotten without a trace left. Well let them publish it now in a blog. Likely no one would read them, they are too clever, unintelligible, to difficult to read no one would understand and on top of it very boring, dreary, devoid of philosophy. Then publish it in a book for honor’s sake for his admirers to enjoy. Ha, ha. 

Publish my letters, my thoughts in a great, foremost newspaper, publisher? Oh not anymore. I’m grateful for Google, Blogger, Wordpress, Picassa Web Albums, You Tube, ... who made it possible to publish for free.  I have published them in my blog and make me a great e blogbook one day.
