RE: Working For Government Like Being In Cult Of Heroin Addicts
"I have remained relatively discreet about my employment in my interactions on Steemit for fear of being ostracized by the community."
If I have learned anything from my short time on this platform, its that this is not who we are. Steemit and it's community has been one of the best I have seen. If you were to be ostracized by the community I would be severely disappointed. This is not going to happen.
You have really opened up in this post, and I can tell you put some time into it.
"I am grateful for my progress, but it is not nearly enough to buy my freedom."
I'm not sure if this has a deeper meaning.. but finance wise I think your time and investment is sound. This platform is growing and big things are happening. One day it might be enough to buy you some financial freedom.. especially if you stick with it.
I have followed your @myhuntingfishing blog, and I'm looking forward to more content! I actually love fishing, and my interests in hunting are growing. I have had the opportunity to hunt deer and elk my whole life but have never had interest until lately.
I wish you the best, and hope you find the path your looking for.
We hope you will consider posting some fishing and/or hunting content with the #myhuntingfishing tag. Those posts always get resteemed and upvoted.
Thank you so much for the great comment, kind words and ecouragement. I do feel it is important to be honest and open and I did put a lot of time into this post. I agree that Steemit does have a great community. The fear of being ostracized comes from a few posts I have read that are extremely critical of government employees. You're right, it's probably not going to happen. I agree that 99% of the community is very supportive. I also agree that my investments in Steemit are very solid. It is honestly the best platform and opportunity I have found in all of my searching and I am definitely here for the long term! Things should only get better from here! There are some very exciting things happening indeed.
Thank you for following @myhuntingfishing! It's awesome to know another fisherman and future hunter ;). I do hope you take the opportunity to go hunting. There are so many benefits to it, the least of which is the actual killing of the animal. You get to enjoy the outdoors, spend time with friends and loved ones, enjoy the fruits of your labors with fresh, healthy, organic meat, and much more.
As my friend @huntbook quotes at the end of his hunting posts, "One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted". From Meditations on Hunting by José Ortega y Gasset
