Remember, comments posted here (on Steemit) can be just as valuable in terms of content as the post because they provide the basis for discussion and communication on a given topic. That is what drives the community system here, that's what makes it more valuable than selfies and likes on other "websites".
I have met many great people here through secondary discussions in the comments.
PS: I had no idea you could tell the gender of a giraffe by the tufts of hair on their horns. I do now because of your post. Thank you.
I understand and appreciate your point. The lively discussion and diverse viewpoints really work to enrich my experience on Steemit. I have had basic exposure to other social media like Facebook and Whatsapp but they could never hold my interest. Steemit, on the other hand has taught me something every day and is able to fully engage my interest. The discussion that followed my post 'Solitude.. NOT Lonelines - A BOON - not a BANE' really demonstrated how powerful a medium Steemit is. Something that started as a chain of thought from one photo taken by me evolved into a full blown discussion with many people from different walks of life contributing their views and sharing their experience.
Thank you for your kind encouragement and words of advice.
