Well said! I agree with most of what you posted. And I remember that philosophy page of yours. :) I think that's sorta how I met you since I post philosophy a lot as well.

I really liked this part.

even though many of us haven't ever met each other, there is a lot of support and strong sense of family here if you're willing to find it.

I've also felt like that with a number of people on here more than any other social media.. There's definitely some kind of interesting element or connection going on there. Your one of the people who if I see your name if I feed I almost always try to check out what you've posted.

That's awesome to hear you're donating as much as you have to the minnow project thingy! Good for you. :)
Makes me want to do similar, though I'm definitely not making a living doing this.. BUT.. maybe in the future when I start making more money.. I would definitely consider investing a bit in some of these projects like the one you mentioned. Good idea. :) It's important to give back in my opinion!
If people just take take take it seems to lead to disharmony, if people give back.. I think it much more helps with the balance of things, in most systems. I wouldn't say all.. As some kind of universal law.. But I would say that seems to usually be how it goes.

Happy 1 year here on steemit and I look forward to interacting with you more on here in the future! Cheers!
