RE: Perception and the ego [blog] + thanks giving challenge
Okay, so I had to read the first part of your post twice to be able to understand it to a reasonable extent.
About the paragraph before the sub-title "conclusion"... Please correct me if I am mistaken, but are you trying to say that you have the right to react in whatever way you want (fair or not) whenever your name is mentioned or whenever a comment is made on your blog?
Also, thanks for the mention, I feel honoured 😁
No, not exactly. Another problem is that everyone has a different opinion of right and wrong. Every scenario is different. How I reacted in my situation was correct (in my opinion).
Again, not exactly but we mustn’t think that the same applies for everyone else we interact with.
The point here, is to understand another person’s point of view again and, that when we go to someone else’s page (or a different community) we cannot expect to be treated a certain way.
The main point overall is to have an open mind in general. And that we shouldn’t expect others to behave based on the way we would behave. I’ll talk more about (false/unreal) expectations in another post. And so if you are a “good” and open minded person doesn’t mean that the person you’re interacting with is too. And of course “good” is subjective. Just take nature for example. If a lion needs to eat a Buffalo is he evil for doing so? The buffalo thinks so but not the lion.
The secondary point is that Steemit (despite its claim of decentralization) works very much like the real world. Power and popularity rule. Regardless of the good/evilness of that ruling person. And when that person gives things out they seem to be good because people need to survive and they see reward as survival and survival is good. But if that person ruling is killing or stealing to provide, is that good or evil (for you or for the one’s being harmed).
