Why do we need to write something?

Are there any other reasons besides earning money?
It turns out there, and not even one.

Thoughts

Firstly, we organize our thoughts, we arrange them on the shelves, we restrain our horses, we put them in the Procrustean bed of words and sentences.

Secondly, we learn to express our thoughts with words.
Not everyone can convey information without splashing it on the road.

Understanding yourself

Thirdly, the ordering of thoughts allows you to better understand yourself.
What we want, what we do not want, what we fear, what we like, how we treat something or someone.

After all, there are things in which people can not even admit themselves.
And when the mind has information that the mind avoids, it reduces its effectiveness. I think it's obvious.
Well, it's a separate question.

Release

Fourthly, when we pose a question on paper, we work through this issue and deal with it. And when we sort things out, it stops taking our thoughts, frees up our minds, ceases to distract. So we can concentrate better on solving other problems. Or we can rest better.

Psychotherapy

Fifthly, in the process of writing we work with the contents of our minds, and there we have not only information. Rather not just information. Almost all the information in our mind is somehow emotionally colored. In addition, we can stumble upon some unpleasant, painful memories. This causes emotions, and when emotions, especially strong emotions are manifested, and especially when we do not interfere with them and allow them to go out, this greatly facilitates our further existence. Anyone who is familiar with this subject knows this.

In general, we can assume that writing is a light psychotherapeutic process.

The horizon

Sixthly, when we write about something and we do not have enough information, we follow it into directories, the Internet and even in the encyclopaedia, and this expands our horizons. We become more aware of the world around us and about ourselves and it's good.

Money

Seventh, haha, so we reached this point. If we put our essays in the right place and at the right time, then we can make money on this.

We change the world

Eighth, when someone reads our writing, it somehow affects the mind of the reader. In a good or bad direction, strongly or almost imperceptibly, these are other questions.

Changing the consciousness of people, you change their behavior, and therefore change the world around you.

...

And although

We are not allowed to foresee,
How our word will respond, -
F. Tyutchev

But we must strive for this.

Good luck and thank you for attention!
