Saw this play. This is the first time I have ever seen a play in Theatre.

Synopsis:
The play takes place one night, in a lush Paris boudoir. The perfect setting for depravity. The rules of power keep changing. Class is as oppressive as death. Sexual desire, game playing and the tenderness of deeply felt love oppose each other and are complementary to a sado-masochistic enactment of truth. The two sisters, Solange and Claire, who are maids in the home of a wealthy young woman, plot to kill their mistress. This allows them to transcend their own class and enter a class that they are not usually privy to.

Why?
Why do I want to write? Why should I express myself? What difference does it make? Who's going to read? What will anyone gain by reading what I write? What's there to read? What purpose does it serve?
Or, maybe I have the answer.
I read somewhere that, we can only control how we respond to events, but we cannot control the event. Jotting it down somewhere to how I respond, will help me remember If and when I encounter those events again.
It might just be cathartic to write it down, it might help me bring thoughts to fruition, might help me bring perspective to the inner commotion. Or maybe when I come back to these jottings, it might help me transport myself back to an earlier time.
So will it just be a catalogue of events surrounding my life and my responses to those - Hmm I don't think so. I might also comment on events completely unconnected to me. Should I do that?
My attempt to justify leads me to more questions.
Will it help anyone else who might read - maybe, maybe not. We all, anyway draw from our experiences, we can never truly understand from other's experience. So go on decide for yourself if you want to read my musings.
There's so much garbage out there, why should I add to it ?
