People are of value. They have the most value in our lives: those we love -- our relatives, lovers, friends, co-workers; those we are acquainted with -- our bosses, fellow-workers, neighbors, associates; those who are important to us -- everyone else we think about.
So blogs talk about people -- all those people mentioned above. And hopefully blogs tell the truth (as the blogger sees and understands it) about all those people. And hopefully those mentioned in blogs understand why they are mentioned, and don't take instant offense when they are mentioned, even somewhat, disparagingly.
Many people have come and gone in my life. Some I have loved and lost. Others I have loved and hold onto in my mind, or in my heart. But no matter the status of any of them -- it is them I need to talk about. Because they are the people who have shaped me, such as I am, and helped me to survive this long. And they are the people I value.
