I condensed it down to BE YOURSELF. I reteemed this interesting insight that many will read and miss the point I think . This (dollar money)system forces EVERYTHING to become a transaction so thats how most think.
I am finding it incredibly hard to STOP the "forces" of greed pulling at me when I consider what each of my next actions will be here on steemit. The SAD part is I like to SAY I am no longer motivated by money because things turned out ok for me and I don't have a ton of cash but I have more than ENOUGH income and ALL the FREE time I want, so I am a HYPOCRITE, I truly get excited seeing the financial rewards and the upvotes and comments pile up.. So if I REALLY do not need money and act this way, I CANNOT IMAGINE people who are struggling financially not being influenced by $$$$$$$ in their actions.
I LOVE this PLACE. Twitter woke me up to CENSORSHIP and made it SUPERREAL when they shut up a PUNY little voice like me, but we are ALSO UP AGAINST OURSELVES and GREED.
I have already learned I do not want to promote a single piece of shiit (as in do it just because it looks to be a profitable decision) on this site (after doing that when I first got here), and your post has made me reconsider this greed that is pervasive in its influence on my actions. uggggggghhh I LOVE this place, I have been doing so much thinking. People need to be freed from their slavery and have some time and energy to contemplate things, thats one of the main reasons I woke up, I do not work. Sorry for the book,.
