Confucius didn't write anything down and he didn't sit either. He wandered all over China dispensing his wisdom to kings and serfs alike. It was only his students' students who wrote his words down.

Freud wrote down his philosophies to distract him from bad headaches.

Personally I philosophize because I enjoy it. I have a voice-recorder and I wander the streets for hours logging my different thoughts. The voice-recorder will never make me famous, but it's a good way to relax and work up an appetite. Also, if I die for some reason, people will have access to thousands of hours of my personal feelings and thoughts. That isn't fame, but it is at least being understood.
