Many of your visited my blog this past week yet only a handful of you voted on the poll. This piqued my curiosity and I found myself pondering what may have prevented you from participating. I mean, here was a chance for you to actually move from passive observer to active participant – able to wield powerful influence with a click of your mouse or a tap on your iDevice. I was placing control firmly in your hands - you were no longer subject to my whims and self-indulgences but rather had an opportunity to force me to obey yours.
Was it this prospect that ultimately scared you away from voting? Were you uncomfortable with the responsibility that could so easily become yours? Did you agonize over the choices, cursor hovering expectantly, only to allow doubt and anxiety to creep in as you contemplated the level of guilt you might experience if, in asking me to reveal secrets about myself, I might unleash upon you a litany of terrible atrocities I’d previously committed?
Or was it the thought of enduring a sleepless night if it was YOUR ONE VOTE that pushed “cat pictures” into the lead just as the poll closed?
Whatever the reason, I’m curious to know. I’m giving you the floor. The remainder of the time is yours.
