I love this kind of article where it opens up for us all the share our own point of views and opinions. Everyday I try to be better than yesterday, by better I mean, kinder, more compassionate, more tolerant, more understanding of people's feelings and do what I can to help or at least contribute to a good cause. I'm participating in Steemit because I've read some lovely articles and feel the urge to contribute as well. The journey to more authentic and being yourself takes a great deal of courage for me, courage because when I value the sessence of who you are rather then what you've achieved on the external, I appear very odd to a lot of people. I just stick to the truth despite what people think I press forward with what I think is best for myself and for humanity. Conclusion is, I completely agree with you and really glad that you spoke up, I'll learn to do that too. Thank you for sharing.
