What topics truly matter?
Everyone is so interested in new diets and movies, myself included, but what topics actually matter? What topics are people most interested in that affect them? I'd like to hear some opinions on this.
Topics are opinions. Opinions are only ideas that have been turned over in the mind to the point we accept them as some type of truth. But basically we have opinions based on three things: (physical) body (psychological (mind) and Spirit. The first of these contains so much, e.g. our health, food, rest, exercise, we have opinions on these things.
The second of these engenders most of the 'topic matter' - opinions on all manner of subjects. Ideas held in the mind vs ideas held in others' minds. These can become so believable that people will go to war agains people who have different opinions. As some Zen Master once said: "Forget about truth, just don't cherish opinions."
And the third - and most important - deals with something we might look to others for opinions but, in the end, have to delve into ourselves - our spirit and the perenial question, "What am I?" The search and the journey has to be made by us individually.
There is a quote in the book, 'A Course of Miracles': Nothing real is threatened, nothing unreal exists; therein lies the peace of God. In the long run, nothing matters. It is our ego-minds, our self-image concepts which make topics matter.

I have been diligently writing away on niche stuff and today realized that the market for much of what I write is way to small. I need to diversify in a big way. Please give me some ideas on how to find topics that people want to read about.

I write about topics nobody is interested in. But I mostly write for therapy, so it doesn't matter. Well it does matter because I would like to find some people that are interested in what I'm interested in. But writing for other people is not my first goal.

I started a hub account about two years ago then never got around to it. I am here again and want to get something going but I can not settle on a subject. I tried reading over the forum for advice and did not see anything that stood out to me. How do you guys decide what...

The blog post made it clear you're interested mostly in brand new hubs for the niche sites. If you release a list of topics you'll be making niche sites for, we can write new hubs on those topics.You'll have to do so eventually and doing so now will give us time to create enough content for each...

Hi there,I'm new to HP and so far have just two hubs. I'm trying to come up with new ideas for hubs but am getting a little bit lost/stuck. I've read a lot of tips and tricks, with most people saying "stick what you're good at", which is fine but where on earth do I start?! My first two...
