RE: Why Steemit has the elite trembling.

in #news7 years ago

My sincere gratitude for your response. I am neither an expert nor an insider on the affairs of those at the top of the pyramid. I simply know what I saw and know what I did. Having been witness to the stranglehold and systematic manipulation of so many, I knew I didn't want to be counted among the many. I felt the frustration and disbelief that most of us would, but being who I am ...I didn't feel trapped, and just waited patiently for opportunity.
That's the reason I'm here, opportunity;
If any of what I write helps people who feel stuck move forward by guiding them to see other possibilities in their lives, I am humbled with hope.

I saw a tiny bit when i was 18 and had found myself working for Elite, the modeling agency. I came into a sizable amount of money very quickly, and this changed my social circles. The level of greed I witnessed was very disturbing, then i also began meeting the mega millionaires, the mafia, etc. I could see pretty clearly that I didn't want that life, because I saw what it did to people. They stopped seeing poverty as having anything to do with themselves, and their worries reflected a vapidness that I found distasteful.
I left that world and many others, but like you, i didn't feel trapped. I knew i could leave it. I've left many other worlds behind too.....but i did find myself poor only a few years ago, and that phase almost did me in. I will never forget poverty. It was my greatest lesson.

are you planning on writing about what you saw? I for one would be really interested in this.
