That is inspiring stuff, and I hope for the day when people take the same view and similar actions in droves, as opposed being totally fixated on accumulation of wealth and possessions that they don't need, in the "stab each other in the back" approach to getting ahead in the corporate world. That greed is a sickness amongst the human race, and a sickness that is manipulated by the media, who's work is mostly for the elite and the corporations.
The media keeping the pressure on by mongering fears and anxieties, to make people feel over gratefull to have their 'position' in the 'take shit from above, give shit out to those below' worlds they live in, either without them really knowing, being naive/brainwashed, or more likely I feel, the knowing, but wilfully ignorant.
The sense of genuine warmth and inclusiveness that I see here at steemit, and that I very often feel in abundance, is natural and healthy. What we're doing here should not have to be deemed 'amazing' and "fuck me, that's different!", although it is of course 'amazing' and it's "Fuck me, it's different!", it just shouldn't be, and it wouldn't be if the human race was healthier as a whole. We all have to continue chipping away at the cracked veneer of the corporate world and our societies at large.
Think about it, I don't think any of us feel unatural in our varied activities here at steemit. I've always felt the world needs more empathy, and that's one of the keys here I feel. I see so many empathic people doing great stuff at steemit.
Love, compassion and empathy, that's my holy trinity.
Having said that I've been absent these past few weeks, taking some time out to try and apply some of my compassion to myself, in a bid to sorting my fucked up headstate. It's taught me the importance of maintaining love, empathy and compassion towards the self, something I've neglected for too long. Try not to do that folks, without hindsight it messes you up far beyond your awareness at the time as you shut parts of yourself down, and makes you less able to participate in the giving and receiving of the above holy trinity.
I imagine from your journey, you will have no doubt experienced that in your own way @clayboyn.
