This question has haunting me ever since I stepped onto this virtual world. This was the first time ever I have come to know of a forum or joined it. I loved the show hence when I saw the platform where we all could share and exchange ideas I jumped into it without thinking twice.
I ended up writing weird, funny, illogical, senseless, serious and maybe a little meaningful posts every now and then. And now even if I try, I cannot refrain from being here and end up writing and making another post after a gap of a day or two. So what is it that hooks me or everyone else here? Is it SNS or more than that?
Talking about the show and your favorite characters gives immense pleasure and a sort of kick which keeps us high for the rest of the day. We talk and share things which we probably could not talk otherwise with anyone. Imagine we spending hours and hours chatting with someone in real life...is it really possible?šMy answer is no and I have never done it before. But writing and discussing it here has become a must for me.
Is it we have got emotionally attached with people on the forum here and their opinions and viewpoints matter to us?
Is it because it is a sort of a medium for expressing ourselves? Our opinions, beliefs, values, judgement, vision of things get a platform to be shared here. This forum represents a private space in my life, a beautiful solitude and I love to write my heart out in the moments before I go to sleep.
Some of the questions which I come across and maybe many here on the forum as well get me into real thinking.
As I look back on the day, what were the most significant events?
In what ways was this day unique, different from other days?
Did I have any particularly meaningful conversations?
Did I do any reading? What were my reactions to it?
How did I feel during the day? What were the emotional highs and lows? Why did I feel as I did? Is God or my spirit trying to tell me anything about these feelings?
Did I find myself worrying about anything today?
What were the chief joys of the day? What did I accomplish?
Did I fail at anything? What can I learn from this?
- What did I learn today? When did I feel most alive?
For being on India-Forums and spending a chunk of my time here, I want it to be worthwhile. As much pleasure I get in reading and writing which has been my favorite hobby due to which I am here, I want to take the positive from here and get back in a high into my real life.
Was this rant or useless talk, I don't know, but I have been thinking why I am here since quite sometime and what is it that is keeping me hooked? I think it has nothing to do with addiction. One does what one loves to do.
PS. These nine questions are from Ron Klug (2002: 54) who has come up with a helpful set of starter questions for an 'end of the day'.š
