Stages of A Reader

Words and Pictures by Grant Snider

There are ideas, images, and styles that are constantly spreading p2p within our culture— with the aim of conveying a particular phenomenon, theme, or meaning represented by the meme. And yesterday this media virus made its way to me. I really wanted to share this because it speaks to me and I think it can spark a great conversation about what probably a lot of us on steem are going thru one and/or multiple of these stages right now.

Currently I am in stage 5 slipping into stage 6. But these stages throughout our life goes in cycles. At around 2012 I was at the same stage I am right now. That was the last time that I thought I was going to save humanity with just another book!

What stage are you on? (Please comment and share below, would love to connect with you more!)

But this time, looping back on the stages, I think I am wising up. I stopped trying to 'save humanity' and I want to focus on fun and starting to look at everything as art and poetry.

I think what everything boils down to is enjoying what time you have on this stage we call life. That means Play! Just have fun, enjoy life, be silly, dance under the moonlight, read under the sunshine, watch the sunrise, tell stories at sunset, kiss your kids, hangout and laugh with your love ones. Because at the end of life that is all that matters.

But back to reading and creating, I think for myself it's all about looking at the whole world as a stage, and it looks like we can use some better writing to this drama/comedy we call humanity. I often find myself thinking is this the best we can do? Can't we write a more entertaining fun comedy/drama to the story of humanity?

Surely we can, we just need to start writing that new story for humanity...
