Quality Content and "Right Action" Isn't Dependent on Who SEES It!

What do we do, in life? How do we conduct ourselves?

What is in our hearts and minds, as we go forth on this day?

When we go forward into life, what are we taking with us, and what are we leaving? 

When we are committed to taking "right action" as we go about our days, what exactly does that mean?

Do we help those in need of help, simply because it is "the right thing?" Or is there a small voice somewhere, nudging us towards helping only where we feel we will "get something in return?"

Before sunrise...

Considering Reciprocity

"Reciprocity" is an important concept. I think a lot of us can agree on that. But are we "conditionally" or "unconditionally" reciprocal?

For a moment, let's just consider the microcosm known as "Steemit." It serves as a nice metaphor for life.

Content is content, and "good content" (or we can call it "content we LIKE," if you prefer) is "good content;" it stands on its own, regardless of context. 

But now for the test: Are we as forthcoming with our upvote and comment on a great post by a wee minnow as we are on a great post by a fat whale, knowing that we might get a fat upvote in return from one, but not from the other?

Think about it, for a moment...

Now, you may belong to the school of thought that says "I'm just here to maximize profit!" and I can appreciate that some people are. In that case, maybe this post isn't for you, at all. This isn't about profit/money; it's about our interpretation of "right action" and how we conduct ourselves in the world. 

There is still a question for you, though: Are you leaving a legacy that represents "who you are?"

So now, let us leave Steemit for a moment and just go back to the world... and to the questions asked at the beginning.

"Right Action" isn't contingent on who sees it-- it simply exists. 

But keep something in mind, here:

Self sacrifice that ONLY focuses on the "goodness" of the lowest who can never hope to pay us back is no less discriminatory than self sacrifice that focuses ONLY on those who can give us a fat reward for our actions.

So, ultimately, "quality content" (regardless of whether it is on Steemit, or in greater life, itself) deserves recognition simply for its existence, independently of its capacity to reciprocate.

I invite you to keep that thought in mind, as you wander through your day, and the week ahead! Experiment with it, and monitor your thoughts and feelings.

Bright Blessings!

You are not alone!
