Lol... They have the time, the opportunity, the knowledge, the resources to make a real difference but they don't. This is a true reflection of certain individuals in our community; they live off the community but contribute little or nothing to the well being of the community despite their ability to.
For example, my aunt lives on a government residential area in my state. The area is filled with houses own by career politicians. In fact, the state legislative quarters is set along the same road as my aunt's place.
The road is one of the worst roads in that part of town. Despite these people's wealth and position, they act like they don't see the state of the road. They pass you on their four wheelers, while you swim in rank, rat infested water into your home.
These are vampires. They want the attention, the front row seats, the fawning sycophants willing to sell their souls to please them, yet they give nothing.
It is the way of the world but it should not be so. We can be better, give more, help more, participate more, create more opportunities for everybody.
This is why the reward system of steemit intrigues me. You get rewards for interactions not blind likes, not fawning but beneficial interactions. I just hope that we, as humans, can find ways to replicate the system in the real world.
Peace.
