@fjmb86, i wouldnt have stumbled on this beautiful work of yours if not for the opportunity reated by @whatamidoing.
i must say that your post was very insightful , i had never really come to answer the question why i write on steemit it everyday. i felt i was just playing my own part to contribute to the mining of steem.
after reading through your work, i now have a different mind set, i learned four reasons why i should write
acute egoism, the desire to talk about one, to be remembered after death; 2) Aesthetic enthusiasm, the desire to perceive beauty in the external world or in words and their right combination; 3) Historical impulse, the desire to see things as they really are to find the true facts and save them for posterity; and 4) Political purpose, the desire to give the world a certain direction, to change the idea that others have about the society that they should strive to achieve.
im in love with these words of yours 'the desire to give the world a certain direction, to change the idea that others have about the society that they should strive to achieve'
i think i will always have that in mind before i write my next article. it was a lovely read from you. @antigenx
Great report on Orwell’s essay and how you see it applying to writers today. In my own case, I feel that writing, like all art forms, cannot but be a mirror of ourselves and the of the times in which we create. Even when we aren’t actively making a social or political statement, it is impossible to create truth in our work that cannot be seen as a statement on our times and culture.

This has my vote.
It would have meant a lot more to me had I read it half a year ago - but the problem is me - not your writing.
