RE: This is a PAY IT FORWARD POST to help our friend @dianargenti here. Her father passed away & she needs funds to complete the burial AND help her family. We dropped the ball on helping her Steemit Family.

True downvotes are taking from someone. Downvotes are also redistributing what is taken, to everyone else. This everyone is the 99.999% @pfunk is talking about.

99.999% of people in the world need money.

Instead of using our energies in an destructive manner let's try to see the positives.

Your post Barry has brought a lot of help to the person you wanted to help and also generated some valuable comments like the one made by @pfunk.

Downvotes should always be seen as a positive for the 99.999%.
