" Being an author of books does not bring a shared view to life with readers. Instead the readers remember also nice snd interesting skills or thoughts as just some text about that subject, remember the ideas in the text, instead of comparing it with their own lives, or at least not with their own life experience. My text was just somebody else's experiences and thoughts about them, at some other time and place, at leadt in a different weather, different lufe circumstancies. And so being an author is not like talking about those things, instead it is much like being mistaken for a booklet, which is so far from being treated just right, that such a pisition does not seem worth reaching for. So I have sometimes wondered, shoukd texts and other produced things be with some other name, would lufe be easier then? But one needs the position of understanding those thkngs better than mist others. Otherwuse there is too little room for lufe for the author.
