The opening quote that I used for this short post, was intended to spark some thought perhaps about our actions, as a group or individual with regard to the current Steem/Steemit vs Tron fiasco.
I'm an older member of the Steemit community (In biological terms, not by date of membership) and I used to be fairly smart in ways that elude me a bit in my Senior years. Yet, since I haven't totally drifted into La-La Land, there may be some value in what I have to offer my fellow community members in regard to this whole mess.
Course of Action:
- Quit your fuckin bitching and just do what you think is 'best' for the Community as a whole.
- Do whatever it is that you feel able to do with whatever talents and resources you have at hand.
- Try to make decisions based upon calm, sane thought rather than crazy-assed emotional thinking.
- Leave your retarded ego out of the process.
- Prepare for the worse...yet, work towards and expect the best outcome.
- Don't listen to old folk like me who might not give a shit one way or the other.
- Remember..."Life goes on, until your dead" - Anon
Have a Marvelous Day/Life
