There goes a friend. Was it worth it?

 

Online ranters ain't what they used to be. 

Or is it just that I've 'cleaned out' the perpetually outraged?

Comments sections on public posts probably prove that nothing has changed. 

Ramble with bite

 

I never stopped questioning

Or challenging the status quo

(No matter the political divide)

Yet its relevance

Externally

Had no impact

Other than an occasional argument

With another non-entity.

 

Which draws the conclusion

That it’s pointless

Mere ego stretching

Achieving nothing

For some it bolsters self-importance

Worth the price of admission

Though most believe it matters

And is worth losing control

And even friendships over.

 

Finding the like minded

Is merely a collection of mirrors

Patting themselves on the back.

 

Millenia old

Never to change

Irrelevant opinion

Holds too much sway.

 

The Grandiosity of One

Raises some

Undoes many.

What's your experience with arguing a point or shouting your opinion or having someone shout theirs at you? We all see comments that piss us off but is it worth our time engaging?

Any thoughts on any of these issues, I'd love to hear. Just please don't shout. 😉
