600. Review
This is blog entry number 600 and there have been over 20,000 page views since I started this blog on July first, 2010.
I am amazed, that I have still not run out of ideas to write about. Blogging has helped me to clarify my own world view.
But mainly I am disappointed. I had hoped to find my mindmate long before arriving at entry 600.

But mainly I am disappointed. I had hoped to find my mindmate long before arriving at entry 600.
I cannot know, how many different people have contributed to those 20,000 page views, nor how many ever really read the page, which they had opened. But it is disappointing, that nobody has ever recommended me as an apparent match to anybody. While I do not expect strangers to care for me, also nobody seems to care enough to make a friend or family member happy by telling him about me.
I am an atheist and a realist. I do not expect anything good ever coming from fate or a deity. Nor do I expect any hazard to happen to me more often than by its statistical probability. The only realistic way to gain or acquire anything is the investment of efforts to earn it. Sometimes the return of an investment is certain, sometimes the mere hope for a return is proportional to the investment.
A happy relationship is something to be earned. This earning is a two step process. While the second step of cooperating in the effort to make a relationship work needs the combined effort of two partners, the first step of finding a suitable and compatible partner is entirely my own job.
My mindmate is out there somewhere, but this does me no good, as long as he is not aware of my existence. Getting in contact with him requires efforts to be noticed by as many persons as possible, until one of them is either my mindmate or knows him and recommends me. The more people know about my search, the more there is hope.
Writing blog entries is a part of this strategy. Every time someone finds and reads an entry as a result of a google search, this adds a tiny chance, that this person may get interested and even fascinated by my way of thinking as the expression of my personality and is either my mindmate or can recommend me to him.
Therefore I will continue to write blog entries, until I find him or am found by him. This is one part of creating hope and thus making myself to feel less desperate.
