Then I realized my own desire for recognition for what I was writing, in other words, I was writing to get a response which is a form of greed, I was greedy for approval/recognition of what I was writing which is the wrong reason to write.

We never know when the seeds we plant are going to take root, or what potential influence they may have in someone's life, thus, all we can do is continue to cast the seeds and let the fall where they may. We must share for the sake of sharing, without any intent for reward.
