RE: Steemit Tips: How NOT To Behave On Steemit -- Cognitive Dissonance

in #steemit8 years ago

Great post, I tend to not even respond to people that are that confused about what they understand and believe. I just say what I say and that's it, I am not required to respond if the conversation is misunderstood. I am glad you shared this though so people begin to realize the belief systems they hold create this dissonance. If it comes to philosophical debate, most with degrees are taught how to think and understand. Academics mean little in the real world. Mama Bear here on twitter (which I would never join) shows us what so many do online like you addressed. And it does take a higher state of consciousness to care and show that compassion even in the face of anger and disillusionment. And it is in these moments of conflict where both parties involved are given the chance by grace to become more of who they are and leave the person they were behind. It is up to us to decide how we will respond. Great job man!

I have ignored these people, too. Only with Steemit I have an opportunity to confront these people and actually make something of it. I doubt that Mama Bear has really gotten anything out of the arguments she's having on Twitter, but because I analyzed our conversation and posted it here, it is bringing value to a community by opening up a discussion and actually financially benefiting me as well. Steemit make sit worthwhile to engage again :D
