Very keen observation @charitybot. And I agree with you--as within, so without.

Steem is also an incredible opportunity to help change the global economy, starting with a fresh perspective and rewiring or own ideas and beliefs about things of past and step into new potential.

Steemit is what we make of it, so we can either keep living a life based on money, scarcity, greed and control, or we can shift to being in service, supporting, honoring, respecting, and doing the loving thing.

Of course value can mean many things. It can be equated to having a financial reward, and/or a human heartfelt passionate value. I care more about community and connecting/helping others - money is sometimes the means to be able to facilitate that. But I would way rather have posts full of love and passion than one strictly created for monetary value. I feel it is a "build it and they will come" sort of scenario, so if we do what we love, the money will come. Therein lies the true value.

Contrast is essential to experience. Perhaps we need to experience one extreme to appreciate the other.

I loved your comment @charitybot! Thanks for engaging my blog.
