I'm Free and So Is My Corn

I'm not addicted to writing.
  
      Addiction begins at the exact moment that you know you shouldn't do something that you've aready done at least once before, you tell yourself not to do it and you do it anyway. Experience is a differentiating factor between temptation and addiction.

      Once a philosopher, twice a pervert.

       The differential experience factor prevents most of our philosophers from being regarded as perverts and stops most of our perverts from being regarded as philosophers.

      Temptation?

      We spend most of our lives avoiding temptation. As we get older, temptation begins to avoid us. The more efficiently temptation avoids me, the more time I have for the keyboard and the desktop.

     As of this moment, I have never felt as if I shouldn't be writing so I'm doing it anyway. Huhh? In other words forget about temptation then forget addiction. 

     What's left?

     Obsession and compulsion.

     Obsession is a mental occupation. I don't spend much mental time considering either my writing or my status as a writer. If I get near a keyboard and if I have an idea and a free moment when I'm near that keyboard, I try to find words for that idea.

     Compulsion is a forced action driven by mental occupation. Since I don't dwell upon my writing, I lack the obsession to be compulsive.

     So why do these words appear so frequently at this location?

     Why does corn exist?

      Somebody (at this instant you the reader) is guiltlessly digesting these words. These kernels won't hurt you. They may help you. They exist because you exist.

     That's why I plant and harvest them.

     I'm free and so is my corn.
