Ah some interesting food for thought, especially that little bit about giving and receiving.
Especially young steemians might struggle with this since they might only think of their “value” here on steemit in terms of their rewards & influence where as they are likely much more valuable in the skills/content they can offer and bring to the community.
You don’t need to give out steem or sbd to contribute in a meanigful way here (although that can be 1 way).
Rallying support for & bringing attention to a particular motive, or as u mentioned, goal can be just as meaningful and effective for providing support for others who may then (also as u mentioned) be more than willing to assit you back.

Thanks for those Insightful words @jaybird. I will surely feature this your comment in the Blockchain Blogger weekly on Sunday.
No problemo. I believe that it's a topic worth discussing in the community.
