Why do you write? (5)

... my publisher asked me, and I realized that I haven't a clue. I write because I cannot imagine that I do not write. If I didn't write I would be lost, I would probably work all the time - I don't know. It is not that I am such a great writer, that is not what this is about, I know I am not, but writing is the only thing I really know. Not until this question had I realized how important it is to me and how little I know of the reasons why.
That in itself is rather revealing.
I write to tell about the thin line between reward and greed, how high reward leads to superiority and how superiority leads to self sanctioned greed. Once someone considers it a proven fact that he is better than others (because he makes a million or more a year) then anything goes. Once you are superior, right and wrong disappear as categories within yourself. Other people are wrong, you are right.
You have the money to prove it. Or the power.
I write about good and evil being in everyone and about crossing the line because often that is the only way to go.
At the same time, I never write about the motivations, about the inner thoughts, doubts, fears or barriers. I don't write about what happens inside you when the categories shift. May be I should, I guess, because that is also what happens.
