That Damn Important POV [Point Of View]!

 

WHO says we're TO EACH HIS OWN because we lead our own lives and we have our own POINT OF VIEW [POV]?  I beg to disagree with this train of thought though.  Even for this simple blogging, I take it seriously that one of my most critical decisions [even before I start drafting a new blog post] is to ask myself, WHOSE POINT OF VIEW am I going to write this blog?  I thought that's crucial to be clear up front📗📙📘

That POINT OF VIEW I'll decide up front determines the outlook of WHAT I'll write after all even as each perspective comes with its own devices that can give the blog writer that freedom to express BUT at the same time, to be extra mindful and conscious enough that I CAN'T just blurt out and end up shooting from the hip because there are limits I ought NOT to be breach, if at all❌❌❌

WHY is there so much cacophony in the world we live in?  Ooooops, there is NO single culprit for that harsh reality because, like it OR NOT, many of us are accomplices [in most cases, unconscious and unaware at that].  So you might get back and ask, WHAT POINT OF VIEW should we use if composing a blog?  In most cases, bloggers would opt the FIRST PERSON SINGULAR so that his narrative will become more personal, more genuine💚💛💜

On the other hand, some would prefer the THIRD PERSON LIMITED POINT OF VIEW in a scenario where the blogger writes something from only one person's perspective BUT as if the reader was following them around and observing.  This POINT OF VIEW will then allow the listener OR reader to gain a slightly broader perspective WHILE still being permitted to understand the innermost thoughts and feelings without being bound to one's opinion💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  Regardless if we're talking about fiction OR non-fiction, WHAT matters here is that in a two-way interaction, it behooves that we become more flexible and less rigid in our POINT OF VIEW.  In fact, if it happens that one protagonist is so vociferous and vocal, the other protagonist is encouraged to take a step [OR at least a half-step] back for him/her to get OR see the bigger picture [OR trying to see the whole forest and NOT just the trees] before one draws the conclusions arising from that interaction.  YES, that DAMN IMPORTANT POINT VIEW [POV] remains as damn important indeed😃😃😃
