Why Do I Write? #14

8th August 2022

I have been writing blogs for a year now and wanted to share and integrate both my YouTube channel and WordPress work. They are both great mediums to express thoughts and ideas, and would like to share this and connect with others who might be interested. And of course have fun along the way 🙂

So why do I write?

I write to express my thoughts in a more consistent and tangible way to make something that is more abstract clearer. I want to explore from the personal to the general, going through the depths of society, culture both old and new and social norms. Using tools such philosophy, science, psychology, anecdotes, storytelling and ancient teachings from around the world.

I would like to explore about our evolution as a species and our relationship with nature and reality itself. I want to explore the depths of addiction, depression, anxiety. How does our ruminating minds hold us back both from internal and external chatter and how we can use that knowledge & understanding to begin the ascent upwards.

Does fulfilment come from being in a financially stable environment and in a country with a high HDI? From dancing on stage to your favourite music? From attaining academic and intellectual achievement and status? From bringing all your friends, family & community together? Or even from meditating in a field all day? How can we escape from the clutches of suffering and help others to do so too. What weapon can we forge from the depths to bring us towards that light?
