“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love...”
― J.R.R. Tolkien via Gandalf

I chose this quote to be my Facebook header quite a few years back...

Then I discovered Steemit

And decided to use it as my header pic.

• not realizing it would prove to be...

Steemit in a nustshell!

He who cares to look,
finds random small acts of kindness and love
all over Steemit.

Be it

• all the useful guides to help newbies get started
• all the curation groups created to help progress
• people willing to answer your questions from your comments
• most upvotes made by humans not bots
• all the effort put into web sites & apps that help you on your Steemit journey
• all the positive uplifting posts which remind you to have a good day
• all the positive comments made to those having a bad day
• all the contests to help minnows get some SBD or Steem Power
• all the sharing of life and common sense (which is actually not that common...)
• all the different groups that have been started to bring like minded people together
• calls to action to help out a brother or sister who has a need
  • Yes, small acts of kindness and love can be seen everywhere
    • If you choose to look for them.

This is not to say great powers holding evil in check is not important, it is!
There are powerful wizards of Steemit

• battling to make the Steemit universe a better place for all
  • some by creating useful bots
    • some by creating bots to battle not-so-good bots
  • some by sharing their wealth to good causes
  • some by picking up a sword and personally doing battle
    • some clerics are hard at work repairing damage from the battles
• Let's not forget perhaps the greatest wizards of all
  the devs who are making Steemit better and better!
• The Witness wizards run servers to help make Steemit work.
  • 2 or 3 second transfers to and from the blockchain is unheard of in the crypto world.
    • They also give input to the devs on what direction to take Steemit...
• All working together to make Steemit the #1 social media platform.

Have you ever bought a new car?

As soon as you do, you start noticing how many of your make & model are on the road.

• Why is that?
  • You've subconsciously changed your focus a bit.
    • There are not magically a lot more of those cars on the road.
    • You just never noticed them before...

That's what I recommend you do here on Steemit...

• don't get bogged down with stinkin' thinkin'
  • don't focus on all the things that are wrong with this beta platform
    • focus on all the good which can be found if you only look for it

Call to comment on this post.
Share a small act of kindness and love
you have noticed here on Steemit

You don't have to name names,
but you can if you wish...
