How Does Life Make You A More Thoughtful Writer?

Hm… I have been wondering a lot lately about the purpose of writing and sharing ideas. Why do we humans tell, write or share our experiences? And why do we believe that others give a shit about what we write about on Medium or somewhere else?

Are we seeking to reach some level of universal wisdom, or are we too confident with our life experiences and certain they will impact someone's struggles?

Your writing reflects your depth in life; the more sophisticated and superficial your writing is, the more it shows how tiny your brain is and the lack of practical life experience.

The most inefficient writing is when the writer brags about their ideal knowledge and crappy useless wisdom they learn in books and fails to see what the reader looks for, which is a depth of real-life experience.

I'm no writer, but I guess I can engage an audience and get more attention than a failing philosopher; Even though they might have studied in some of the most prestigious schools on this planet, they fail to serve the reader's needs and solve their problems.

An empty writer is a useless advocate; they learn all sorts of crappy ideal wisdom at school, then head to the street in the morning and talk; the problem is no one listens. So they come to the internet at night and write, yet…
