RE: Just another day on Steemit, why I feel helpless.

What is wrong with having an opinion, especially if you are pro good/quality content and against abuse? :-) Thanks for your support though. The only thing you need to know when entering controversial debate is that you're part of the crossfire and may suffer from side effects such as flags, people calling you names etc. As long as you know to (mentally) handle this, everything is alright. I recommend surfing or other type of outdoor sports to balance stress :-D Am on my way to the Swiss mountains now for skiing... see you soon!

Are you familiar with the ancient Greek saying, "know thyself?" Well, I spent the vast majority of my adult life watching and pondering my actions, thoughts, and intentions, I know the good and likewise the evil I am capable of. While a volley of flags could certainly have an effect on my voice here on this platform, I have little concern for the name calling of individuals who likely, have not spent ten minutes in self reflection. It would be like a seasoned painter giving mindfulness to a three year old calling her work stupid. For perhaps in the three year old's head it is stupid, but they know nothing of art. Likewise are the attacks of an untrained and nonobservant mind.
