I would say this to you: before you judge me, find out for yourself who I am.
Your opinion is based on a certain set of factors and not based on an actual conversation.
Naturally, I do respect your opinion, as you have made me think more deeply about some matters. It is true that I am a trusting person. I'm learning as I go to become more suspicious, but my true nature is of the "seeing the good" in people variety. I let people's true colors shine through, and then, I make an assessment of their trustworthiness. If they betray my trust, I cut them loose from my inner circle. I try my best not to judge another human being without first finding out for myself exactly who they are.I have read through your comments and am thinking about them. If you knew me well, you would understand that the driving force behind me is wealth redistribution (wealth in the form of time, money and energy). I distribute wealth every day. I just gave away most of the proceeds of the scam post to @nojah because he wrote about the blackmail first, even though I never saw his article. He was visibly upset that my article had gained traction and his didn't. I understand his frustration and felt compensation was necessary.
When I do find out, I take appropriate measures. I wonder if you feel the same way about any other whales or orcas? Or have you singled me out for being a trusting and trustworthy individual?
I'd like to ask you a question: which other Steemian gives money to others on a daily basis, every day? And I'm not including curation here. I give away money daily to others. I also give my time to encourage others.
But it's true, I do not embody the feeling of hate. I don't hate anyone, actually. Just because a scammer made off with the community's trust, it doesn't lead me to hating them. Hating perpetuates violence. I have no time for hate, when I have a whole world of creativity and imagination to explore.
I choose to engage with the feeling of acceptance. I cannot truly change anyone except my own reaction to the actions and reactions of others. I can decide to disregard your criticisms, or I can decide to probe as to why you are somewhat rattled by my status. I am amused by your assessment that "I am not ready for that power" as you do not truly know who I am. If you had bothered to get to know me deeply and then made that assessment, well, then, I would see some merit in it. However, that is not the case.
