"A community is only as strong as the contribution of any single member and his willingness to give his best."
Watching wolves in their social community associating with each other, shows clearly that every single one is contributing on his given skills. Every single member is filling the space his abilities fits into at his best. The Alpha male - with the most responsibilty for the surviving of the pack, is stabilizing the community by looking for an equilibrium within, by delegating the roles to any single one of them. He has taken this place through to his strength, his far-sightedness and his unique abilities which enabled him to take care for the rest of his team to thrive. Therefore he's the only one who will give his skills further by reproducing descendants with his counterpart - the Alpha female.
So every single team mate's acting and filling the space he knows best, what provides that the pack will survive throughout harsh times!
Just some thoughts on the change in the steemit community after HF19 was implemented...
This HF19 had an immediate impact not only on the payouts, but also on the daily figures of postings. Both of them have risen significantly, in an astonishing way over the past few days.
It seems to me that since then some are following the meme -
Research hasn’t the same standing as it had before the HF; the aim to deliver real content has declined since then and - what I personal don’t like is the fact, that some are posting videos or links to interviews, podcasts or reports they haven’t even created on their own, trying to get some steem-bucks without making any effort on their own… -
To me it is a fact that the content created by some hasn’t developed in the same pace as the payouts have risen. There are still a lot of - real steemians - who are working their ass off to spread a real message, reporting real news, doing a dig into deep research that’s worth to be listened to, that’s worth to be shared in our community, but some are trying with the smallest effort as possible to get a larger piece of the pie!
As I said before - That sucks! - cause it's showing me once again, that for many only money matters and not that we as a community will grow stronger, a social network that's able to surpass the rotten system that is dominating and controlling us by stealing our freedom far too long!
I, for myself don't need to be an Alpha, though I know, I can take the lead, but because of the fact that my priority has always been to contribute to my community as best as I can, I will take any place to keep our "pack" strong!
I’m really glad that the HF has taken place, cause it's like the Germans say: "Man muss den Spreu vom Weizen trennen!" - meaning - it's easier now to distinguish between a free rider or a real steemian who has the right understanding for what task this social community has been built!
For me - after The HF - only two things changed:
- 1st - my willingness to try to be more creative, doing a better research to be a more useful part to our community.
"You get what you give but do never ask to get something for it by return."
Cause it’s within our duty to exhaust our Godgiven skill!
- 2nd - I guess the Unfollow button will become more useful overtime to keep my friends near to me... - looking forward to their next post and the rest... - mmmh?!
I will flush down the toilet, because I wasn't born to feed people’s greed!
Thnx for reading… - and stay safe!
love it… upvote it... resteemit... follow!
Awesome post - under-rated and under valued...Loved-it - Upvoted-it Resteemed-it!
It is greed that drives the insecure and those who usurp shall not succeed - in the long term.
Love the analogy to the wolf pack - indeed - some SHACALs are trying to steal and make a buck off the value creators. Thing is, they do not survive in the wold pack.., they become the hunted.
Thank you!
I believe in John Lennon's words - "Instant Karma's gonna get you!"
I never forced anyone but myself - but in a constructive manner; though I'm not carrying the weight of unrealizable expectations in anyone or anything with me around; what keeps me flexible and what helps me to not forget my priciples: to worship life and nature, to respect it in its very different forms and to never step into the sun so that someone else has to stand behind in the shadow!
C U soon!
