I don’t put much stock in what someone else says, so I don’t expect anyone to put much stock in what I say. What we have to say is more help to us than to someone else, I think, in that it reflects us to ourselves, like looking into a mirror, so that we know who we are at that particular time and place, and can reflect on it, examine it, inspect it and see if it is an accurate expression, exhibit, of what we think and where we stand and who we are at that particular time in our life, giving us something of a time-place marker for our way through our life. And perhaps benefiting us from a future vantage point as a way of gauging our progress or just reminding us of who we were “back then” and comparing that to “who we are” in the future.
I have finished three volumes of the “200 Zen Thoughts by Jim Dollar” series posted on my WordPress site, and they will stay up there until I publish them on Amazon Kindle, when I will have to take them down as a part of my author deal with Amazon.
