Warum Möchte Ich Viele Dinge Zuschreiben: 10 Reasons You Should Know About


"Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better" - Herman Hesse
Among the thousands of things I could write about, I always end up with some nonsense things to scribble. Among the hundreds of issues I could find interest with, I always end up with nothing to start with. Frustrating as it sounds, but it is. For me. I have written a lot of things since years. It comes in different forms.

Since childhood, writing has become my favorite past time. It somehow functions as a channel to my deepest thoughts which I might forget from my day-to-day routines. I am very busy all day writing articles, reading a lot of news online, revising and readjusting some formats, and everything else. These made my everyday life. I may be paid or maybe not. Who knows? At the end of these things, I might gain something. Well, I will.

Science speaks that writing is a form of therapy to everyone who does it. They said that by having just a few minutes per day, it will make much a difference. It specifies around 15 to 20 minutes of the day. Through writing about anything that comes up in your mind relieves one's system. How does writing help in anyone's life? As Mic.com suggests, those people who write about anything especially about traumatic,
stressful, or emotional events, they can have the following benefits:

1. They are more likely to have fewer illnesses and be less affected by trauma. 

This is because people can express their disappointments and other negative feelings that might be trapped within. These might lead to serious illnesses if not calmed immediately.

2. They ultimately spent less time in the hospital. 

Since people experience inner peace, they don't think much of things that stresses them that much. Instead of thinking of them, they write them down. In this manner, though they seem to be alone and lonely, they are not. Instead, these people are the most peaceful and most calm.

3. They enjoy lower blood pressure. 

Because they are the most calm people, they don't experience rush or rage that causes high blood pressure.

4. They had better liver functionality. 

Liver functions properly if the system is not experiencing so much stress. Yes, too much of negative stresses can lead to serious liver disease if not taken immediate action against it.

5. They have more chances to reevaluate their lives. 

This is the most important thing that everyone should do. However, only a few people can. Through writing, they can monitor how they behave by reading the scribbles once again after months.

6. They think positive most of the time. 

This is because they read a lot (since one cannot write without reading stuffs, too). Whenever there are challenges, writers do think differently. Most of the time, they think with positivism compared to those who don't write that much.

7. They sleep well all time. 

Writing things before sleeping is the best thing to do rather than checking emails or Facebook. This applies to all social networking sites per se. It is more healthy to write journals or diaries before shutting system. By writing everything that comes up with your mind, it will help an individual release emotions before they sleep. In this way, they do have good dreams and peaceful sleep.

8. They judge logically and fairly. 

A sensible writer don't just write about something without some back-up research. Therefore, they don't just judge the book by its cover. They judge people or anything by weighing things first and know both sides before giving conclusions.

9. They learn love is not just felt. 

Grammatically, love is both a noun and a verb. Writers know that. It's totally clear to them that love is a form of affection but at the same time requires an action to show its sincerity. Otherwise, it's considered artificial.

10.  They write to change the world. 

This the highest form of purpose why people write. They wanted to share things that are logical and sensible. And as much as possible, the simplest way possible. It may be targeting environment, war, and so on.


Therefore, writing is not just a mere activity or hobby. This is a work of passion and art of aesthetic experience. No one can write without being sensible. To be sensible, one needs to read and to know the world by any means. Internet can be the most useful in this manner. Don't just utilize internet just to post nonsense online, but a chance to act like how a human should be. To think and to rationalize. This is how humans are made for.
