Indeed positivity is absolutely important for the health of a person and a platform like Steemit.
If we let all the politics, negativity, drama and flag wars get to us we will miss out on the awesome human stories, of the challenges overcomed by humans, of the charity and helpful nature of man as he cares for his fellow man.
It is not that we are sweeping those under the rug but we are merely focusing more on teh good that platform can do.
If we want a place that is great and safe for us then we need to create it. Woe is the nation that needs Heroes when its citizens should be it's protectors.
We are the ones defining this Platform .
