Slow Claps
That was awesome @taskmaster4450, what an article.
You combined all my feelings about steemit here. Ever since I got here I noticed a very strong spiritual presence among most members. During my day I never see people talking about spirituality and very little forward thinking about what we've let happen to ourselves and our world.
Everyone is content to just keep the same system, where the banksters rule the world and keep taking more and more and more while putting us down, de-educating, and pushing products that are unhealthy.
The world is changing fast, technology on the blockchain is allowing things that wouldn't have been feasible before. We actually have the ability to change what an income source is, it doesn't have to be a job, it just needs to provide value in some way. There are endless possibilities for that.
We don't have to keep believing that people must have different value to society. Everyone has something to share if we give them the chance. I really don't think most people are ready for this mindshift, people are so used to being used as a cog in the machine. We're used to giving away our rights and our time and energy for things we don't truly agree with. Do people really want to spend so much money on warfare? I don't think so.
I think people are waiting because they are afraid, afraid of eachother and of change. It's always the case, change is scary, we don't know what it will bring. The past is nice and comfortable, we've been there, we know what it's like.
We need to wake up, take a hard look at what we're adding and what we're taking. To see why we're so afraid of certain things, why we believe certain things, and why we don't think this is a possibility. We could be living in a utopia if we just worked together and supported eachother.
Steemit is a great start, there are a ton of amazing people on here, despite the fact that there are still some people so afraid they feel the need to take as much as they can from the platform. Those people will see in time that it is unnecessary. We can provide the value on here so everyone can thrive.
Resteemed my man, this one combined a lot of things and brought it all together nicely. I think steem has a great setup to promote a brighter future. I think as a community, this should be one of our main goals, showing abundance is possible.
