I understand your point. I know that's kind of a philosophy. Giving is better than receiving.
I personally think there should be an equilibrium of giving and receiving. Just like when you plant a tree, take care of it and water it, then it give you shadow and fruits. It's harmony .
Yes, very well put. So, the more posts you write here on Steemit, the more comments you write, the more you will receive, I believe it works like that.
You are right. It's like planting a seed.
Following you!
