Whether or not it is right to approve this blog.

 

Objection 1. It would seem to be not right. For all things are imperfect, and thus by approving this blog you are advocating imperfection.

Objection 2. Further more, by approving this blog you are claiming possession of it in some way, which breaks both the forum rules and the law of justice.

 

On the contrary, approving of a blog is right, as it affirms the belief that the righteous labors of anyone should be awarded according.

 

I answer that, When a person creates a blog, they pour time and energy into its creation. Thus, it is right and proper to affirm that according to its amount.

 

Reply to objection 2. A blog, due to the fact that exists, is in of itself a good thing. It can be better or less good, depending on the level of goodness within it. Thus, by approving of it, I acknowledge the goodness in it.

Reply to Objection 2. Chesterton says that true humility is the ability to rejoice in another's good fortune as if it were your own. Thus, through a blog approval, instead of taking control I congratulate and affirm the goodness of another thing, without identifying it as my own.

Yes, this is going to be my next blog approval. I couldn't resist the urge to make it.
