As I finished a project this evening I considered topics to write about on SteemIt. I thought about my passive-aggressive picture post from earlier today, and I felt a bit of ashamed of myself.
Then I had the thought that created a paradigm shift for me.
"I don't want to put much effort into it right now."
Many years ago I made a commitment to do things I feel proud of and act in ways that make me grow and strive to be better.
I did some soul searching and came to realization that I don't tell people about SteemIt, because I find it embarrassing.
As I watch Bernie flag Seablue for absolutely no reason, and the community stand by and watch, I feel uneasy. You maybe you don't know @seablue is a really nice guy, he works hard and he even bought some of his stake of steem on market unlike most of the people here.
Many people have told me that Bernie is actually a really nice person, and I don't doubt that in a different environment that is probably true. I kind of think of him as the kid that doesn't know how to stop giving "Wet Willys". I am not blaming him for the state of the platform. In this case he is just an easy example to point at. It isn't about bernie or even seablue, it just isn't something that makes me feel good about being a part of.
Yes, I believe in Freedom. Yes, I believe each person has the right to do what he wants with his stake.
The whole thing is just an experiment.
Smooth and Abit can flag away someone else's stake without the courtesy of explaining what and why they are doing. It's okay it is just an experiment.
Anyway, with a whole lot of things I don't feel good about I was reminded of another experiment. Milgram Experiment.
I know this could be taken as melodramatic. At the end of the day, this just isn't feeling fun.
Yes, I believe in Freedom. Yes, I believe each person has the right to do what he wants with his stake.
I feel the need to take a break for a while. With the states cracking down on Crypto, I am not sure there is a point in pushing through my personal funk with SteemIt.
Please write from the moon.
