While walking in nature you may pass by gems without noticing them because their beauty is hidden in details. These details are not always visible from a distance. Your height could already be too much distance to notice beauty.
From above
For example this flower
It doesn't stand out, despite it's blue purple color.
Same Height
Kneeling down to get to the level of the flower, the image changes a lot.
Now the blue purple and pink are visible. There are also white thorns. This flower should not be picked without caution.
Lower Height
Placing yourself lower than the flower, makes the flower seem taller.
Now it is almost like a tree. New details show up. It is a very hairy flower.
Up Close and Personal
Moving closer to the flower shows its real beauty.
The fresh blue to light pink shades, the flower is a colorful combination of it all. These are details you would not have noticed when keeping your distance.
It doesn't take much imagination to realize connections between people work the same way. To see the beauty in someone you will have to connect, get to the same level, close enough to communicate. That is what Steemit is about. Keep your distance and you miss a lot, engage and you will gain a lot.
