Dear friend... yes, Hive is a community, no doubt. It's not a friends, nor non profit community though... It has always been a group of people trying to increase their income. I won't tell on no one for this. This was and this will be...
The world is ill? yes... are we ill? yes. We cannot see the real world but the world that is shown to us. This began just more than ten thousand years ago when someone realized that he/she could exploit the "system" or he/she could take advantage from others... nothing has changed since. We need several global disasters to get to know what really life is about, we won't see this change happen and guess there are some thousand years and global disasters ahead to reach the point.
I don't blame no one, I respect others, their views and ways to live. That's my credo, it always was and will be. I love people but sometimes I also feel sick when looking at some attitudes but, hey, we are only humans and we have a lot to learn before we surpass this fact.
Hola Drake... good to see you are still around. hehe...
You said it all... nothing to add. Hopefully the masses will rediscover what we are = Nature !
