Why do I write on a Blog that hardly anyone reads?

There is a quote that sums up why I write more than anything else I’ve found.  The quote is from C.Day-Lewis, and reads:

“We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.”

This quote was found in a book my father is reading, entitled “A Time to Grieve” by Carol Staudacher.  It is a book about how to cope with the loss of a loved one.  But, as I normally do, I digress, back to the topic on hand….

So, why do I write? I believe I write in order to better understand what is happening around me, to understand my fellow man, to get along in a world that at times seems out of control, and to start a discussion with others. To drive home why I write, I refer you to some of my previous blog entries:

• You just can’t fix stupid!: This entry is about why someone would put graffiti on a Saguaro.
• If you break it, you buy it.: This entry tries to understand how companies can make so much money, how we (our gov’t) can send so much overseas, while our own infrastructure is crumbling.
• Elephants and Asses, screwing the Masses!!: In this entry, I voice my frustration with the political parties, both of them.
• Do automakers put directional blinkers on their cars or are people just stupid?: Have you seen the way people drive?  I am trying to come to grips with the rudeness of others.
• I feel violated – can I get aid?: Our government is “by the people, for the people” right?  Based upon current events. Who decides what country get’s aid, and how much.  Why do we send foreign aid anyway?

So, if you’ve read the above articles, you have a picture of my inner workings, or lack thereof. I look forward to discussion, so if you are reading this, please start a discussion!  I look forward to the debates.
