SOME RANDOM DUDE

Ever-so-slowly, but surely, the Comment Love concept is starting to spread beyond this site. Didn’t You Hear started a similar project couple months ago and now Trying To Follow has begun a program as well. I am deeply encouraged that this small blog is helping encourage other bloggers to help make a small, yet valuable statement/impact.

In my mind, the financial donation is by far the least important part of the idea behind Comment Love - the real beauty of it is that the blog owner creates a very clear message that not only are they willing to give back, but they are willing to do so in a very public and social manner - hopefully inspiring and encouraging others to do something similar. $30 to $50 dollars a month, while important, is still a drop in the bucket. However, using a website or blog as a megaphone for the importance of giving back to society can make big waves. Nothing is wrong with doing your part silently and I can understand peoples’ reservations to publicizing what should ultimately be a very personal and intimate decision. The intention is not to promote who is giving to charity or how much, but to promote the action of giving back.

I am deeply encouraged by peoples’ deep interest in the idea behind Comment Love and their willingness to become a part of it. It may only be a whisper, but it nonetheless gives me a lot of hope. charity, comment love, donations, giving back, public, social trying to follow
