Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Do you feel that this is a struggle with mortality or something else?

Wow, followed you and will be checking out your blog. That quote hit me hard and is what I needed I think. Lately I have just been doing me and trying not to put as much thought into it as I would have in the past. Caring what others think is a major issue and holds me back in a lot of areas. I have always thought if you do something for someone with the expectation of a return than you are actually doing something for yourself. This is something I will need to apply to steemit.

Maybe that's just it, issues with one's mortality.

Perhaps it relates to the idea that each should have an impact, a legacy.

The desire to do good things is noble, the desire for people to see
good in you may also be noble, but I don't know about the desire to be
recognized for doing good things.

Change is the one thing we can count on, but I can see how some would want to escape this reality by trying to create something stable, immutable, incorruptible, something that they can feel safe in being associated to.
