Another regular day, up and wired to the world.
News influx:
-A religious Practitioner aka terrorist, with unacknowledged grievances has blown up some distant cousins.
-Two people in seats of power at two different ends of the world, are tied in ego wars that threaten to decimate our specie.
-The rich and heartless are wiping out exotic animals to improve the peculiarity of their credentials.
-More people are fleeing away from civilization because it has become unsafe, washing up on seashores and other indescribable situations.
- My Summary: In the real world humans are the only life form fighting innumerable wars against itself.
Then I log on to steemit and the atmosphere palpably changes.
Every other person is offering advice, helping the minnow, being a good samaritan, beseeching your follow without necessarily doing so. It so overwhelming, that I become suspect. Lining up my thoughts on how the world really works and two great people come to mind:
Abraham Maslows and Brian Tracy for their famous thoughts on the human psychology in the niches of needs and altruism respectively.

I dwell on the systemic set up of society, trying to understand the irony of practice and principle that plagues us.
The results of my thoughts are not fine tuned enough yet to take up this space or your precious time.
But, I will leave you with two words: INCENTIVE and DOPAMINE.
Hopefully it stews your thoughts.
