Giving back is one great thing we can do to someone who had helped us in so many ways. Life maybe hard on #steemit this time but still we can do something good for the person who had been supporting us or helping us. Although honestly this is not my cup of tea, I mean I see some people who doesn't need support because he or she can afford to do it for him/herself. Imagine someone submitted a post asking for support because he wants a good birthday party for his son or daughter and yet you can see he's earning well or have enough resources outside #steemit? Or someone beg for donations because he wants to buy a new cellphone or some accessories for his car haha Stuffs like that.
Anyhow, I'm not against helping other people in fact I used to initiate things in order to help those who really need help. Sad to say most of the times those who have much get much help but those who really need help and have nothing in his pocket get less.
Anyway thanks for this initiative for our superhero, I wish he could get over these trials that he is facing right now. I also wish that a lot of whales will help him not only minnows like us. And most of all I wish he could get someone who could help him manage his finances so he won't be stressed when problem that involves money arises.
Hi bro, money is the smaller things. give back isnt always money. there are millions lurking everywhere in very simple directional words. and bro about my finances, you may not know about my finances or management of it. I didnt ask financial help. I didnt know of the last post done to buy a fone for me even till I saw it and the many comments there talking about my finances (which is unknown). Well, because I will not do a transparent post for all the behind-the-scenes, which is what I constitute of more. receiving in itself is an art and is not only the giving and receiving in itself is hard. the help at stake here is prayer and its other forms, money being secondary. my last post aired pain, trauma and aired many other things and the existence of money wont have saved anything in what happened on the day I wrote that post, cos nothing much of what transpired was mentioned in a public post. according to me, I see all whales, I never see minnow or whales for you are whale to me and if I turn to someone even just to air my pains, the size of wallets dont even come to play. plus, whatever stake I will have here is for everyone long term, hence projects on and on till they are fully in place to really help. when the teardrops token is ready abd all the projects that constitute a curriculum to where we reward every tear, then I can really buy a shirt then. my last post spoke more of pain, trauma etc things in which presence, even money can lose value. till my projects are complete which are aimed to be as free as possible for everyone, my wallets say nothing about my expenses. plus expenses are privacy. there is a privacy paradigm on the bare blockchain. many things are unknown. sleepless nights happen in silent and ever-in-silence in some cases, steemit is simply the scene. in the presence of many brothers, even the term fundraise goes obsolete. that is what has happened in the case and what may have happened in case who went proactivd about giving to me as they continously grow into brotherhood and receiving is an art. when the concept becomes brother, whale or minnow becomes obsolete too. when people are proactive it is great to see because yes, there are people who do pain in silence, because there are different types of people. Overall, a curriculum has been underway instill these concepts and it is a joy to see it playout cos when there are brothers everywhere, then even money loses value because your brother's money is your money. We simply create many brothers. bro, you have helped me many many many times and among these many times, there are many times you have helped me without your knowing. with regards to help, there is no competition. many times it isnt about the financial size of the help. it may more about the value given this help by the receiver, size regardless as receiving is an art in itself. everyone had played a role knowingly or unknowingly. I am not the best helper as ii havent helped. I am simply brother and I have done things I woulddidn't normaly do as brother accolades or no accolades and sinceI minnow days or now days cos I have only ever had brother days. in my minnow days, I had the giving factory. I wrote this comment for community sake as it became necessary following reactions to a previous post that I never got aware of till laterI.
Not to worry sir. From the bottom of our hearts it's giving back and being grateful to the person who BELIEVED and REWARD us with what we somehow deserved. It's not really more about helping but showing our constant support because we are all aware that this will be for us in the long run and yes I definitely agree a long term one.
Thank you so much again :)
I dont see much of the now for me, like you said, I see more of tomorrow where help if it is so called is more solid. but thid will play out and be made more evident. like I have always said, I have never been out to reward people and I spoke of what my votes represent and it has never been money or financial rewards because according to me excerpts of the brain is priceless. I no one to reward you. utmostly, votes have more recently constituted a spread, comments or posts and it is mostly there to constitute inspiration, ever-incessant reminder of light in the tunnel, ever-incessant remind that "your boy terry" is a constant, ever incessant reminder that dreams equaller reality etc I look to a time where I can help more solidly when the teardrops token enters full blown life down the road and I do look for endeavors that mine the human into true celebrities ulogs, dream-builders steemgigs, the awesomebest version of human untalented, real brothers to where humanity is the brother next to you surpassinggoogle, then to celebrate tbis with a breakthrough token, an emblem of human with the teardrops token. it has always been a long road and yes, I will not rest. becos my immidiate family itself has been about generations yet unborn. my dad himself did that and though he suffers now, he did do something and alot because I am here and I am not flinching in "your boy terry"
Thanks sir Terry for being here in Steemit as one of our Steemit Witnesses!You are so great!More power and may Jehovah God will always bless you all the time!
Hello Terry yes you are right giving back is not always money but honestly its always a wish on our part to be able to share some amount not only to you but to anyone who really need help its just that this time the value of SBD is very low so it would be hard for us to collect a good amount, but other than money, we are always here to support you.
We are trying to analyze things so we could better help or support you but yes you know more than we do when it comes to your finances and everything. Do what is right and may you'll be successful in all your projects.
Lastly I would like to cite this wonderful words of yours which made my heart grow enormously big LOL
Thank you very much that even in our little ways you were able to acknowledge our ardent desire to really be of help again not just to you but to other #steemians as well.
Please be well for us, take a good rest, seek required and necesary medical attention not only for your father but also for yourself, we are praying for you both.
okay bro. no worries about money. I didn't ask. receiving in itself is hard for me, so I call it an art. when people are proactive about it and persistently proactive and render help I may end up giving in to receiving not only because it is an art but because I care about the giver, because for true givers, it can also hurt them when you dont receive from them.
You're right @surpassinggoogle Not receiving from others can hurt people that are trying to help you and it can also hurt you in the long run. I am not very good at receiving either but I think I am a lot better than before. Self-sacrifice doesn't serve a good purpose when it's unnecessary. I learned that the hard way!
P.S. I didn't read the whole thread. I am only commenting based on the fact that receiving has been difficult for me too.
