Why is writing important?
Because you can make sense of your own life and the lives of those around you.
You don't have to stay in ignorance and confusion your whole life. You can begin to understand life as you write about your life and others.
For example, my father complained to me about not being allowed to go to college as a young man by his father even though my father was valedictorian of his 1934 High School Class in Seattle.
However, as I grew older I began to realize how wise his father actually was in not letting my father go to college then. The reason is that in 1934 it was the great depression. People with College degrees mostly didn't have jobs, or cars or homes and were homeless. But, my father didn't look at things this way somehow.
So, by writing about this I started to get order in my mind regarding all this and saw that by making his boys (all three of them) electricians who worked for him on his business he was assured his boys always had a job, had cars, a place to live and always had work, so they never went homeless or died of starvation like many many did during the Great Depression here in the U.S.
As you begin to write things down that didn't make sense to you, often you can see the truth as you reread what you have written. Because somehow writing things down often gives you 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th perspectives of things and through this things that would have stayed confusing to yourself and others often you can clarify and thereby "Free your Minds from Worry".
So, writing is important in understanding yourself and others. It keeps you alive and helps you make sense of your lives so you can stay alive and actually have a life. It is one way people keep on going on. It is a way to keep on keeping on.
If you can understand yourself, half the battle is already won. The other half is understanding the world around you.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
