Thanks @williambanks you have a good heart but perhaps too much faith in the goodness that just doesn't exist in everyone. I already know why he wants to hurt me. And to be clear, I am not hurt or afraid of him. I know you're intentions are good, but I would ask you to consider waiting for the reformation rather than rewarding it before it's happened. He's going to comment nice things some places just so he can build his reputation and have an impact. He gives you that respect to get the upvote.
I have been friendly with earnest on steemit chat before he got blocked so it's not as though he doesn't know I'm a person.
Thank you for taking the time to see this. The beauty is the transparency. Be careful with him.
While I can respect that.
I have no faith that goodness resides within a person, nor does evil.
Good and Evil are choices made in a moment of time. That moment has passed, but it's effects persist for a long time.
I do know that a single act of bad in the present can counter a lot of good from the past. But a simple act of kindness can also topple a lifetime of bad acts.
Dr Seuss taught me that, in a book called "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".
The fact that someone deigns to think of us as in their society is always a gift, for good or for evil it is still a gift. It's always our own decision whether or not to accept any gift.
It's also a choice whether or not to return any gift.
I choose to reward good behavior, and nothing makes me happier than to see my friends, become friends. You already know what I believe about enemies.
