I am an astronaut.
Did you know that? Yep, I blast off about twice a year. It's such an exhilarating and rewarding profession. I get to see things few get to experience, and I absolutely adore my stylish outer-space duds.
Ok, clearly a silly intro to get to where I'm going, (which consequently is not the moon). Right now, it seems anyone who can type has a blog. These blabbing bloggers cover all sorts of topics from politics to crafting, cooking and beyond. As the reader, if you do so choose to be, you have a job. Do you believe everything you read? Let's be honest; we bloggers are not all credible writers or even plausible resources. We aren't "published" or often even read by anyone who would challenge our nonsense. If we were published, where would you find us in a library? Most likely there would be a spill over in the fiction section.

The greatest gift, in my opinion, is being able to embrace humility. Although some people do get lost in "outer space", it's only a matter of time before they come crashing down, gasping for air. Social media does allow us to project multiple realities to others. Somehow, something as simple yet complicated as orchestrating the perfect sequence of letters can define how we wish to be seen, heard and respected by others... and like you said, usually no one dares to second guess it. Unfortunately, words, our personal avatars, can only shield us for so long before the truth inevitably surfaces.
Excellent talk today and even more excellent blog.

It was only appropriate to begin and end my comment with a very humble man, Mr. Abe Lincoln himself. ;)
