Writing publicly is a deliberate practice to become a better human being.
When you write publicly, you clear the cobwebs off your mind. You examine your deepest biases. Your fears. Your irrational beliefs. Your pet peeves. You examine them for what they have helped you in, and you get a choice whether to enliven them or not.
Through writing, if you are capable, you also bring the various actors who are lurking inside you (read as archetypes) alive. These actors have played silent parts in the fantastic movie you've directed so far called LIFE.
And when you start examining them as a film critic would do, you see their role in the dramas you've played, you witness their secret cameos in the agonies and pains you hold.
Here is the best thing about those actors inside you.
When those actors are brought to the limelight even for a brief period, your relationship with those actors is completely transformed. YOU end up being transformed
Now why write publicly? I know many who write fascinating private notes. Writing publicly can be an exercise in narcissism when done for petty reasons. When done for one's own enlightenment, it becomes a fascinating mirror to look at the inchoate thought bricks that house your mind.
