Writing

I guess it all depends upon what you write about. Most of the time I never have writers block. But, if I wrote about some things I always would have writers block. So, often if you have to force yourself to write (likely you are trying to get paid for it) which can be torturous or something that you can actually live with (depending upon the person).

I have always written trying to understand things like myself and the world better. There is an old saying: "Know thyself" which might be the most important thing anyone has ever said. Why?

Because if you don't understand yourself you are a danger to yourself and everyone else. That's why!

So, understanding yourself and the world better is how people survive to be 20, 30 and beyond anyway.

So, writing is one way to better understand yourself (and the world around you). Why?

Because often you cannot have the conversations you need to to understand things better with other people. Because they are having their own problems which are often very different than the ones you are having at that moment.
