RE: Unravelling The Charity Thread...

Right now I won't talk about steemit, @rok-sivante! Because perhaps it is not at this time the platform that helps the smallest. I'll talk about you! I have just read your previous publication and you have left me with a cheerful heart. I saw a person translate your post and told you that he does it to earn money because his mother is sick. You voted for him twice! That gesture, perhaps unnoticed by others, is not so for God, who sees the good you do. Perhaps many people take advantage of our good hearts and good deeds, but sin is not in you but in the other who does evil. The world is full of angels! There will always be people who will help you on your way, who will give you their wings so that you can fly or protect yourself. Some angels are anonymous, perhaps like you, who in a simple gesture, not only helped, you also taught that he who gives, has no memory. The one who receives always remembers! Thank you infinitely.

It’s interesting, seeing how Steemit does kinda link into this charity/giving theme...

How the rewards model formed the backbone of an entirely different kind of ecosystem, wherein such opportunities have been made possible.

I mean, it doesn’t reall “cost” me anything to give votes - (well, perhaps there is an opportunity cost, as I could be delegating my SP to some bid bot and earning a return on it, but nonetheless - yet, choosing to keep funds invested here and exercise such voting power, it actually can/does make a significant difference. And, the model really aligns with my personal philosophy, as it’s not just “giving away,” but a show of gratitude where I acknowledge and appreciate value.

Without question, Steemit was a huge blessing for me that came at such a perfect time. As much as I might feel like I wanna fuck off sometimes, I do truly cherish the opportunity I’ve been gifted to pay forward the blessing - focusing my votes towards those in “developing” countries, given a little goes a lot further there. (As I’m sure you can relate to, being in Venezuela).

So yeah, quite interesting to loop back from this post made 9 years ago, connecting the dots with how this platform is a vehicle for making a difference... it never even occurred to me until I had finished writing “your welcome.” Haha! 😇

Your welcome. 🙏

I applaud your gesture! Even if it sounds a little trite: the world would be different if there were more people like you. Surely if I wore a hat, I would take it off in front of you. Thank you.
