The deeper your understanding of something, the less you want to easily tell others about it. Especially when chatting with people around you, you quietly watch them revel in their superficial understanding of things. I once joked with a friend that it should cost 50 cents for me to chat with you.
My friend then asked, why do you keep writing blogs to let people know what you think?
First, telling others certain things in real life is too laborious and inefficient. The former requires your time and verbal effort, while the latter carries too little information in a single conversation. Additionally, the state of chatting with each other increases the cost of being a "teacher." Written words do not require the costs associated with verbal conversation.
Second, not only do others not find your words valuable, but they may also develop negative feelings towards you, which can affect your normal life. On the internet, readers cannot crawl through the wires to hit you.

Therefore, the benefits gained by the other party are significant, while the benefits for us are not only minimal but also easily subject to criticism. Your heartfelt words may reveal more of your secrets. Written articles lack specificity, have lower costs, and do not have as great a positive impact on others.
