I must let some nihilism sprinkle in now: If we are all going to one day die, why do we do anything at all? If all the stars in the universe will one day grow cold and dark, what is the purpose of anything anyway? :)
So far I have had a good run with hive / steem - not just the prior financial benefits we've previously discussed, but the sense of self discovery, satisfaction, and all the things that I have learned, all the ways I have matured and grown, and all the people that I have met along the way.
A sidenote: I was very fascinated by my word cloud for my all time posts and comments. "Content" appeared in the middle, but above it, in small font, also the word "futile".
Time!
That is billions of years away.
You will be dead in 50 max :)
Yeah. Marky showed me that. Good one.
