Sometimes it’s so hard to form words and sentences from the jumble of thoughts and ideas in my head. Even when I finally manage to get something down, there’s no guarantee that I will eventually finish and post it up. There’s a possibility (and I must admit I have done it countless times) that I will delete everything and restart or give up on trying to blog altogether. It could be that I realized I have been writing inconsequential stuff that do not need to be posted, or that I have been throwing out nonsense right from the start, or that what’s written is taboo/not suitable for posting here, or I simply didn’t know how to end it. There’s essentially lots of different possibilities or reasons to explain this, but that’s not really my main point here.
For all that has been written, somehow I always felt that it’s a waste to delete them just like that. Nonsense or not, they were all processed in the brain and converted into “tangible” forms through typing. Of course I’m skipping lots of intermediate processes and steps here, because that’s not really something I want to focus on right now. I guess, the main point is that on the superficial level, at least some efforts (doesn’t matter if it’s big or small) has been made to write them out.
And isn’t it like what we always do on a daily basis? Whenever we start something and when we hit a bump halfway down the road, how do you decide to continue or to give up and simply sweep everything under the rug? Is it based on a cost and benefit analysis when you simply decide based on the extent/magnitudes of the future outcomes or is it based on a consideration of what has been committed in the past? Obviously the ideal answer should be to take both ways into consideration and reach a conclusion based on that, but I guess it’s not that easy since we can’t put a value or measure the factors accurately.
