what motivates you to answer on yahoo Answers, what satisfaction u get aside from points?

Answer 1

I'm opinionated, so this is like a free-for-all, unlimitied lecture forum. Plus, it's cathartic to know that I'm not the only one with some major issues in life, and I also enjoy answering questions where I feel I may have some valuable insight because it genuinely feels good to hel someone out.

Answer 2

What motivates my answers, is to be able to help others.

I try and give as a concise and thorough of an explanation as possible, so that people will not be mistaken in anything that I say or fail to mention, and make a mistake because of it.

I try and take all ramification into account, and all things that may be misconstrued, or doubts eliminated because of the "clearness" of my answers.

Do I do this for points? Well, not really anymore, I do it for the benefiets of others.

I never realized how much "life experience" that I have encountered, through out my lifetime, that can help others, through the mazes and pitfalls, and self doubters, just because I have been there, and done that and made all the mistakes in life "for them" :)

I wish things like this would have been around when I was "first starting out". I wouldnt have made all these mistakes and gained all this knowledge, but, would of had an easier life, at times :) But, if it wasnt for that, then I couldnt pass it on, now, could I ?

The good LORD gave me all this knowledge to pass along, and thats what I will attempt to do.
As long as HE makes it possible.

I wish you well..

Answer 3

I answer any question mostly when I feel i can give a meaningful answer. Another reason is that it is a public forum so basically it is a public expression of your thoughts. I am not at Yahoo Answers for points (many people will not agree with this) because if for points then I would not be ansqwering any questions for they have no substantial value as such. You could be answering 2-3 questions and asking even lesser but if they are meaningful or have some thought or concept behind them it is better than asking a million questions and answering even more just for the sake of it.
