I don’t write to advocate my ideas; I write to outgrow them.
I was watching a video of Palki Sharma’s on YouTube. My daughter, 8 years old, looked at me and said, “You are always watching videos of this woman.”
Then she pointed at the first video on the recommendation list and said, “videos of this woman and this man. You are always watching their videos.” The video she pointed at was one of Richard Murphy’s.
Children show a mirror to us, in which we can see our own habits, tastes, and loyalties (among others).
A blog post is like a picture. It shows what the author thought at the time of writing that post. Similar to how a picture shows how a person looked at the time of taking that picture.
I am not a perfect person today. Far from it. But I am better today than what I was a few years ago. If I sound like an awful person in one post, that doesn’t necessarily mean I am an awful person in every aspect. Let us not judge anyone based on just one thing that they have said/written/done.
Writing this blog has helped me become a better person. Some of my old posts make me cringe. But what matters is that I am improving over time.
