Thank you for your post, it was very useful.
Τhe whole attempt is to try to improve the way we communicate with the rest of the world. It is not easy and nobody can be a 100% successful. What we are looking is to improve the percentage we have in our social contact with others. A small plus, is a plus.
I think time will tell how many people, that think, like and want what we want etc, will stay in our circle. But then again, perhaps we may change ourselves in the future and we may lose those who have been next to us for a long time.
Communication goes very far here on Steemit because we can build great relationships.
