I am trying to decide if I should spend any more time blogging. I stopped blogging elsewhere when I became the sole blogger and began receiving little if any comments (at Ratio Juris and the Agricultural Law blogs, both part of Jim Chen’s former Jurisdynamics Network), and here at RLL this has happened once more. There are no comments to my posts and I have no idea whatsoever if anyone is reading them. I feel I am pissing into the wind, as they say, and am tired of getting wet. If there are any readers who think I should persevere, please let me know, as I sense this is coming to an end* and thus it will also help to know if others are not surprised. In any case, thanks for your attention to this point. Best wishes, Patrick
* We might view this as an illustration of (or one small lesson in) the Buddhist notion of “impermanence” (P. annica/S. anitya), one of the “three marks of existence” (P. tilakkhaṇa/S. त्रिलक्षण, trilakṣaṇa), that is, one of the three characteristics of all conditioned phenomena in saṃsāra, the other two being “non-self” (anattā/anātman) and “unsatisfactoriness” or “suffering” (dukkha/duḥkha).
Update: I will continue blogging here for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for weighing in.

I would love for you to continue blogging, but I would understand if you do not find it worthwhile.
