This is the magic of the place we find ourselves in :)
So glad you have found people who give you purpose. I met one of my closest friends here, and strengthened a relationship with another. Hive means so much to so many, and we ought to say it more to each other.
I agree. I recently characterized Hive Power as "the power to do good". That's what I think this place ultimately represents. It's the power to do good, the power to make meaningful human connections, and I think meaningful human interactions is one of the most powerful forces in the universe.
I always thought I'd be a misanthrope, but I've fallen in love with too many people. Hive has probably taught me how to do that, a little bit. Whatever intellectual love is defined as (not platonic, not romantic, another type) - I find it here in droves.
