Writing (Jan. 13)

What is the point of writing something down on paper or even now on some computer document is no one is ever going to read it? Perhaps it is more than what it seems as writing can be an exercise of the mind. See it is one thing to think of something and a completely different thing to put it down on paper. With this being the case I propose that there are two kinds of people in the world. First there are the people that actually use their minds and second there are the people that substitute their emotions as use of their mind. I am not saying that emotions do not stem from the mind but simply that there is something ever so slightly less intellectual about writing about emotions which are inevitable self centered. Where if one uses their mind to think about the issues at hand there is something greater than the self involved. A diary or journal might be a good thing for some but seeking truth is much better.
