Why Write?

Why write?
The first thought that occurred to my mind is that I want to be known. There is nothing wrong with that, but it's not the bitter truth.
The bitter truth is that I feel I'm brighter than most of those who write, and if some dummies over there can have columns in newspapers, why shouldn't I? Maybe because I'm not as smart as I feel I am, or maybe because brainy people don't have a place in this world.
Choosing to write may be due t something else: is there a chance that I'm just venting? yes, why not? I have been through lots of bad things, and my psychologically unstable mind may have given me the false thought that I can write something of value. This is left for the reader to judge. I especially encourage psychiatrists to read me and send their feedback as I cannot afford 'paying' visits to their offices.
What to write about is the next question, but its answer is completely dependent on the first question: why write, and if I have failed to come up with a justification for question 1, I don't think I can answer question 2.
Well, let's wait and see.

Actually we all need to speak to someone. But it is not easy to find someone to talk to. A good alternative is to write and you will find some people who want to share ideas and feelings. I will be one of those.

So, are you going to write or not........am waiting. I care more about what more than why. Actually, it will be my job to analyse and tell "why" and in your case I can do that better than a psychiatrist........... I am a zoologist.
