RE: The world is at war, Steemit the microcosm is reflecting the macrocosm
I try to stay out of these types of actions or reactions. I don't need the drama in my life. I avoid toxic people at all costs. I don't tolerate greed very well either. I will only try to come between warring parties to make peace when I feel that it would be of benefit and the two warring parties agree to a truce. Otherwise it is a waste of time and energy. Some people just enjoy being rabble-rousers.
I've been known to take issues like this on many occasions as I use them to demonstrate a point. Some people don't like it when I do this, but by remaining silent we consent to it continuing to unfold. So I will speak up even when it causes me great stress. The 'old' me would avoid confrontation at all costs, but it nearly killed me. So I've since learned how to confront and I face it head on even when my knees tremble. Otherwise, nothing changes and I refuse to accept that in life. But there is a difference when it ends up being perpetual. At some point the energy is not worth it and I must walk away. The energy and time is draining especially with those who don't have fertile ground upon which to plant the seeds of freedom, peace and love. I can only help those who have the will. Those who lack the will are rabble-rousers and I have no time for them.
