Writing and teaching are professions that could really feed off of one another. I find my teaching to be a rigorous taskmaster to my own abilities to think and write concisely. The things that I want to say, to others, via my blog -- are for the most part not petty, nor are they prurient, nor vengeful, nor even particularly current. They are for me, though, important enough to warrant saying. Just to make sure the ideas are out there -- are acknowledged -- and understood.
I understand that for some my exercise on this blog might seem a particularly vain or even arrogant exercise. Not so in my mind! I write to keep my brain focused and reactive to all things going on around me. Not because my ideas are superior, or better in any way; but simply because they will add to the foment.
Descartes was right:"I think, therefore I am." And Shakespeare was also right -- "to be or not to be" is the question; and thinking will provide us with the correct answer, eventually. And it could go either way.
