You are so encouraging @humanearl., so if this was your goal then you have made it come true! I noticed this about you the first time i read your post, i immediately followed. You are a fine example for all of us! When I first began learning Steemit, I followed suit to another young man whom thanked me for following him. So now every new “follower” I receive I thank them. To me this is so important…for people to know “Hey I see you and I thank you!”
But i guess we all have our differemt ways of thanking people and encouraging them for greater output.
So glad when i read the part you said you wanted to make it a worldwide phenomenon. It shouldnt just end on steemit. We are here to apply what we learn from here. There are many people and lives out there that can be touched by our little act of kindness. I am really having a good year with your posts @humanearl
@nancy7819 I feel that you all have helped me just as much as yall say that I have helped yall. reciprocity is something that can and should be practiced in our lives. We wouldn't have rampant poverty in the world if that were the case.
Thanks to you and hoping for a great year!
Exactly. Using Africa as a case study, We don't even have a hunger issue. We have a distribution issue like you said. Reciprocating.
We have corrupted governments blocking aid supplies and food to people. They are also confiscating these supplies for themselves.
Africa is rich in agricultural land and in resources, yet has the poorest people and lowest living standard. The reason is european colonisation and neo-colonial exploitation of the continent. Multinationals that exploit africa don’t pay taxes, and there is a serious lack of infrastructure and industrialization. So, they can only export raw materials to european and asian markets, without gaining enough to develop themselves.
It would have helped if Africa could have introduced an African golden dinar, so that Africa’s wealth stays in Africa, but the NATO intervened in Libya to torpede this plan.
The best way Africa can develop under the current conditions is by the policies of China, who built infrastructure (railways and industries) inn exchange for raw materials. European and American policies are detrimental for Africa, because these have kept them poor. Thanks @humanearl
I know all about how Gaddafi was planning on unifying Africa with the dinar. That's why they killed him. As a matter of fact they portrayed him as a villain here in the U.S to justify killing him so they could stop the plan to unify Africa.
Have you seen the scramble for Africa documentary?
