A truly inspiring post.
This sums up the difference between force and power.
Power is natural, pure, requires no defense. It just is.
Force is unnatural, constantly needs feeding, and requires support of others.
Tending to ones in the manner described, monitoring one's own behavior, is truly powerful. When we make the success of the platform by helping others our core basis, we just added meaning from which power is derived.
Of course, when we look to attack, take, and degrade others, we require others to support our position to be effective. If not, we are standing alone which few like to do.
Steemit has tremendous potential. Is one willing to do his or her part to make it such? We will never see the growth many of us envision with only a few doing the heavy lifting. It is going to take hundreds of thousands of us all helping each other out.
Absolutely right on. Really strongly stated in short space. Thank you for that comment.
