Thank you very much for the feedback!

Sometimes I hear people assuming that I'm bragging about my stuff, ie. writing "Look at this cool stuff I did, look at how good I am, admire me and praise me!" - or, for some people my writings seem like I'm kind of a waiting for consolidations and comfort, like "oh look how much I have suffered, here I'm rolling in self-pity, now people tell me positive things about me so that I'll feel better!". Well, I don't know but maybe both of those are rather common ways of human communication. But personally I'm somewhat alien to both bragging and self-pity, and I don't know how to reply if people misinterpret my writings in those ways.

So, I'm not writing to affect the way others see or evaluate me. I'm just writing to communicate with other people. To share my inner thoughts and feelings about how it feels to be a human being in this world. Because, for me, sharing is a value in itself - and honest sharing only takes place when people feel each other as "equal" in some fundamental sense; not evaluating "higher or lower rank" in the bragging / self-pity sense of herd hierarchy or such. That's not my kind of thing.

I remember in some of the earlier comments I used a metaphor of "sending a message in the bottle". When I write a blog entry, I'm usually alone at my home, just writing out my thoughts and casting the message to the ocean of internet, not knowing if anyone is going to receive the message. So, for me, it is extremely nice to get direct feedback, hearing that there are people out there who get the message, who feel my writings as touching something inside them - that's the moment when actual sharing takes place, communication occurs, people meet each other as equal beings, each with their unique point of view, mutually sharing their perspectives of how to navigate the life.

So, hooray to all of us =)
