Its been a long while since I blogged. I treat this space as my personal diary, as if nobody will ever read it. That, of course, defeats the very purpose of a blog. Is it not supposed to be the ultimate attention seeker's tool?
As I read my older blogs, I can feel the pain and the hurt. I realise that these are too intense for most people. When I start writing for a public audience, it will have to be with a lighter touch. There is a great deal of anger here, but not expressed in language that is easy to digest. Do you, dear reader, find yourself empathising? Probably not.
Why pain and hurt? My being an immigrant here has not hurt me personally. I have made wonderful friends, live in a lovely house and have a good life. If lonely. But I choose that. The biggest gift this country has given me is one of choice. I do not have to subject myself to the whims of the collective anymore. I think the pain is more intellectual. (There I go again). I am angry at the loss of logic, at the fall in standards. There is so much this country can be, if it simply holds itself to its ideal of 'fairness'.
