I can’t think about what to write. Why I should I write at all? Do I expect fame and fortune? Growing up, I really enjoyed writing. It was one of my great pleasures. I don’t know if I wrote well enough to get published but I didn’t see any avenues to get published at that time. Later, I wrote for school, college and university publications. I even started my own magazine. Perhaps, I should confess that many of the articles in that magazine published under the name of other people were in fact written or rewritten by me. Actually, the author of the fictitious fiction book we serialized in our magazine, Don (Johann) Schmidt (same initials – J.S.) was also none other than yours truly. Oh well, I can’t come up with clear thoughts but I can come up with confused thoughts of a confused mind. So why did I name my blog Clear Thoughts of a Confused Mind? Maybe I was too confused to know that my thoughts were far from clear.

In this crazy world, a mind cannot but be confused. The challenge is to generate clear thoughts from a confused mind. Not confused per se but confused because of all the craziness around us.
