Singer Ciara writes an open letter to bloggers

It’s a season of open letters and singer Ciara has
written one to bloggers. Lol. She’s sick to death
of negative bloggers and comments and pens an
open letter urging people to stop…
Ciara writes on her personal blog,

I used to sometimes like visiting some of the
blog sites to see what new things are
happening in the world! Things like cool
photos, current events, etc. But nowadays it
seems like there’s a competition with sites on
“Who Can Tear Someone Down the Most.” The
stories are going from cool and creative to
pure drama. Even the comment sections are
beginning to get out of control and people are
using the platforms to exercise a false sense
of power.
People sure do have a lot of courage when
they are anonymous. It’s like a “Who Can Say
the Nastiest Comment Game.” I click onto
some of the comments from something as fun
as an Instagram post that you’re sharing with
your fans, and a person finds a way to turn a
positive post into a negative. I think to
myself, “I could pick this person apart so bad
but what for? Why act ugly like them?” It
honestly takes the fun out of it when people
seem so miserable.
Or at least that’s how I view someone wasting
their energy to tear someone down, just plain
miserable. They could be using that to do
something much more productive. If only
they could channel their energy towards
positivity, it could make a difference in their
own life as well as influence others. It’s kind
of scary for the kids coming up, because even
if a parent doesn’t allow their kids to have
blog site access at home, they may still have
access at school or other places. It’s now
almost impossible to protect your kids from
the vile things people say on blog sites today,
and it’s even worse when kids hear hurtful
things about themselves, their parents or
other family members. In some cases kids
have even resorted to suicide due to “cyber-
bullying.”
My questions to people creating slander about
people are:
What stops you from thinking twice about
trying to defame someone? What are you
trying to gain?
Words are powerful. You could say the wrong
thing about someone, famous or not, on the
wrong day and that could cost them their life
because they’re at a weak point. Believe it or
not, you could also be encouraging them to
give up on their life or whatever the
situation is, when they shouldn’t. Or what
about a story that causes unnecessary drama
stemming from completely false information?
It’s just flat out wrong and sad. I say to
myself, I thank God for making me strong,
because I’ve always been able to use the
negativity as motivation, and it makes me
stronger.
But I don’t just think about myself in this, I
think about others that I see getting thrashed
and think it’s just so wrong. It’s very sad that
people just want to tear people down so bad
just to see them unhappy. It’s unbelievable
how far people are willing to go to get people
to come to their site.
I say this to say….
Dear Blogger,
It’s never worth it in the end when you sell
your soul for a quick dollar, by creating
bad stories about people. At some point, it
will all reverse on you and you’ll end up
regretting all the trash you wrote or said
about people.
The universal friend “Karma” has
demonstrated this over and over again. I
strongly encourage you to project more
positivity into the universe. If Social Media
is a world that’s growing more massive by
the day, why not use it to shed light??
Otherwise, you are merely contaminating
our universe.
What about your family and kids?? Do you
think about them?? You’re definitely
creating a harmful and volatile environment
where they must learn to live. It’s almost
like you are cursing future generations
with your bad energy.
Not to mention…Your “Personal Karma”??…
Forget about it!
You better start doing some serious praying
and rebuking, cause only The Lord knows!
…:)
I sure do miss the good ol days when the
focus was about the pure creativity of being
an artist. Back then there was still some
mystery. Social Media Is Beginning To Take
Away The Specialness of What That Was, and
Is.
Now, Off Blogs. Peaceful Mind. Living In My
Happiness. Creativity Only.
Love, C
