Anything worth reading?

Is anything worth writing, worth writing even if no one ever were to read it?


I guess it would depend on what it is that is written and whether the writer himself reads it, not for whatever reason - of which we are wary - but worthily for the welfare of his and others' souls; were he rarely to read it, and were the writing to be puerile and prescinding from what is properly profitable to a person, I'd surmise it quite possible that the principle proved false.

I look no further.


My, what great cappello you have?
