Why a Blog?

Why a Blog?

Good question!

I'll start to answer this with a little pro / con analysis.

Pros

• I like to keep a record of my thoughts, conclusions, questions.
• Writing things down solidifies my correct thoughts and refutes my incorrect thoughts.
• Maybe I could learn from my past better if a reviewed it once in a while.
• Perhaps at least some of what I know, think & learn would be useful to others.
• Perhaps it would be good for me to actually share the things I think.
• Readers might enjoy reading what I write.
• Readers might get to know me better.

Cons

• It is difficult and time consuming to write a blog.
• If I'm going to bother with a blog, I'll feel compelled to do it well. (Again, consuming alot of time.)
• Dwelling on the past may hinder living in the present.
• It may well not be helpful to others.
• It is often best to not say everything you think.
• Generally, I've found most people don't find what I have to say very interesting or entertaining.
• Others likely won't benefit much form knowing me better.

Notice a symmetry here? Of course it was intentional. A small glimpse into how i think and what i find entertaining.

• If I'm going to bother with a blog, I'll feel compelled to do it well. (Again, consuming alot of time.)

This was a true statement and a reflection of my perfectionist tendencies. This is a real impediment to getting things done when you are not in fact perfect.

It is also why this may be my only post.
