Why do we blog?

I just happened to talk to one of my favorite persons. We were talking abt blogging being the favorite timepass of many students in this institute these days. And then discussion went onto the reason behind this being the favorite time pass. I just realized - Is it that difficult to hear the truth? That person flatly said that its just to get others' comments. Is it? If I try to recall all the blogs that I know, I find that many of them are srsly after those comments. Ppl keep the urls in their status messages, tell others abt the new posts they've made, comment on others' posts just to get back some for their blogs too. Infact, some of them are so desperate to get a comment that they force us to make one.

Arent the above reasons supposed to be sick? Guess not. What if that person wants others to correct him/her? What if thats just to get back some feedbacks? What if thats just to convey some important message indirectly? What if thats for making ppl aware of our creativity? Arent we all in search of some praise? Arent we all in need of being famous? And guess, it isnt bad to think abt one's own happiness. If others reading ur posts gives u happiness, why not get that?

Ppl say that keeping the url as status mssg is sick? Then there are some others who use other indirect methods to tell ppl abt their blog. May be cause they find status mssgs to be to direct. And if u really arent in search of comments, maintain an offline personal diary.

Guess, the meaning of maintaining a blog is really confused. Some maintain it as a personal diary that includes their day to day feelings, some maintain it for improving their writing skills, some others jes use that for taking out their frustrations, few are into improving their talents, some others make it because some others are making it. Everyone has a selfish reason behind it.

Today, I maintain this blog thinking that someday, someone might just get impressed by the way I think and the way I write. Not that it'll benefit me someway. But, atleast I'll be into talks for sometime. Everyone's got some or the other intentions. But all it boils down to the fact is that they want ppl to talk abt them, read what they right. Why is everyone after being the center of attraction? Are the really wrong at their end? May be not as life is nothing but the way of presenting oneself. This is one way of doing it. Ppl get to know u better.

What am I writing in here? All m doing is wasting my time. But this time waste is useful reason being ppl will know abt the reason behind my time waste and will waste theirs in turn. But this way, they know me and can deal with me in a much better way. The purpose behind this is totally confused. As rightly sed - "Generalizations are the most difficult things"
