Intention

As I created this blog for the first time, I began to question my motives. As with every action that we take, we must clearly evaluate our intentions. So in my mind, I layed out some reasons as to why I should click "create blog". 

Oh you want to know what they are...well:

1. To Share: Let's just say I have this one folder in my room. It's on the second shelf of my desk and it's beside a bunch of college-like papers I have so wonderfully collected. This folder is where I would store my short stories from middle school, then my poetry from highschool, and eventually articles for my college newsletter. It's a little ripped and overflowing to say the least. I didn't mind sharing what I wrote, it's just that I never found the opprotunity. I would read it to my family or present it at a dinner, but then it would just join the others. To make a long story short, I realized we live in a society where much is on the internet...maybe too much. But most importantly, that each of us is given a talent, a small special gift, and although sometimes manifested in unnoticeable things, not one gift is alike. So when we share, we are giving a little of our thoughts, our experiences, our lives to the world. So I wanna share. Like we did with crayons when we were younger. Only this time we are coloring the world just a little differently.

2. To Practice: There is a lot of knowledge in the world. (Did you know that Hippo milk is pink?). Not that you would benefit from knowing that, but if we all shared a little piece of knowledge, someone somewhere could benefit. Our lives should be filled with consistant quests for knowledge, and If I could share something with someone that they didn't know, I would feel satisfied. As Bukhari once said, "Who are the learned? Those who practice what they know." So I hope to practice what I learn, share what I experience, and contribute what I can to your personal quest in life.

I'll explain the meaning of the blog title later. I gotta go break my fast.
