Good evening, Steem Community I've got a small, and some what interesting but not really blog with a few questions directed at quite a few of you that you will get rich from but not really
Well now that title is with out a doubt misleading, and it will make complete sense after you take a second to review the things I've decided to bring up. Let me start this a bit differently, Hello everyone my name is Steven if you don't know me, well now ya do. I'm an Information technology major, who owns a small IT start up here in the great state of Missouri. If you've ever taken a few seconds to read a post of mine theres a good chance I was rather vocal about one of the following, parenting, kids ( probably this one), poverty, an emotional video or two, well more like 3, people, the poor, some dumb ass shit that makes no sense and looks like I haven't learned proper word structure, and/or something to the effect of speaking up and standing your ground and being yourself. This time I'm not doing that, and no videos either about respecting someone or something.. this is as I said, a bit unique. Today I'm going to ask you all if you've ever felt as though you've had a calling, or if you feel as though your here (alive) to do something such as a special task or job, if your some close minded ignorant individual that enjoys viewing people and society in a single way and your not open to change I'm going to forewarn you this isn't for you, back to the task at hand. The other day I created a post regarding prostitutes and how I have a specific view on them and the up votes and comments I got were great I was actually surprised at the fact so many people had respect for the view and opinions I had, infact one of my favorite content creators on here even gave me a great reply, which means a lot especially coming from a woman because typically (no offense to any ladies Im not singling you out with the following remark) women are quick to say things regarding them such as " eww nasty hoe, thats so gross I can't believe her, and/or those people should die" but again after that post not only did women, but the men on here also gave me credit and said they to felt that respect towards women or men that choose that line of work wasn't wrong at all. Now I'm speaking about this post because it actually got me thinking, with so many people replying in such a positive manner to my views and the way I see things in this world, maybe just maybe I should begin attempting to actually make some form of change here locally at home and go from there so many times I like lots of you, want to begin positive change but I don't because I don't know how, and/or because I lack the Will to do it. So you all, sparked something in me, you all as a community actually convinced me that maybe I should take the tragedies and experiences that I've had, and the things that have given me the view I have and use the pain as a tool or as a weapon more the less. Public figures and civil rights activist through out time have been created not because they went to college or university and decided to major in a subject called " Your Life calling" but because the neighborhoods and lives they've came from and lived have molded them into the person or persons they have become. Heres a question; Isn't that right? Martin Luther King Jr was someone who saw things through out life, during his early years and he wanted to change that in which he saw as not being right or fair towards people of color. Or another example would be Anna Eleanor Roosevelt she stood for Women's rights among a very long list of other things which actually got her called First Lady Of The World, anyhow my point is these people weren't born with a tag on their head that stated grow up and change the world , they were sparked by something and by what I can find regarding Anna, she just didn't like the mistreatment of people, she didn't like the fact that women couldn't vote among other things and one day shrugged her shoulders and handled her business she basically set a goal and didn't stop until she nailed it, and of course to get a title such as First lady of The World she obviously Blew that goal out of the water and up in to space. As I've begun to find out how these people and about 81 others made the choice to change I realized these people had something ignite them, they saw something and it made them the person they had become....
So let me start by saying I'm not angry at the system, I'm not angry with people, I'm Fucking livid at the things we as people should have been livid about such as racist, prejudice, neglect towards people (kids primarily), abuse, hunger, hatred itself, and a whole another list of things more so towards how judgement has been placed on men, and women when it comes to their parenting and with the views that the American/ Global court system, Men because they are some ones father, fighting for custody are viewed as not the best option because they are men and that children require a mother more? I love women just as much as the next man or woman but what I don't love is the prejudice used against me and several others. I do carry a unique view on life and the things that come with it but by know means have I ever placed judgement on anyone who thinks different than me, ad if you know me you then know I care about and love my Children So Much that I've went to the extent of getting hit by an i.e.d in Afghanistan on the eastern border and I got up disfigured, and bleeding non stop and for three days I had to conduct Search, and evade tactics in order to not get killed, each step was thought like this, my right foot would step in to the sand and I thought Rachel, then my left foot would hit and I'd think Brooke, and so on.
So Steemians, and people of Steemit that have created or had some form of an impact on the actions that have caused me to take this moment, and past experiences and use them to make myself in to a Leader some one who is going to take a stand against all the shit thats fucked up as I've said in past I won't be able to change the entire world, but I will be the one that sparks the mind of the individual that changes everything. I'm going to become one of those thats viewed as a Right Activist, not only for parents, fathers, but for women, and kids as well. Enough bitching about change I want to cause it I'll actually be trying to utilize Steem it as my foundation , and bringing people here to assist me sort of like a base of operation this community is still so young that its not really gotten enough ground to be used for anything to mainstream yet, so creating and using a not for profit here should be really easy. I'll even go as far as creating a few tags and I've saw a few tags or groups that I may propose creating an affiliation with, due to the fact that people here can be so supporting when I kick this into motion anyone and everyone that supports my view and reviews the post that I'll be creating regarding this ideal and the mission statement behind it I'll need help as far as suggestions, word spreading, opinions and other shit that pertains to this newly found calling of mine.
Questions for fellow steemians;
#1. How does this idea sound?
#2. Obtainable?
#3. What is your view on people feeling that they have a calling?
#4. In your opinion, are Civil Rights Activist right? Wrong? Pointless?
#5. Advice from you and your life experiences?
Everyone has been through something and has experiences I don't, so your input could be extremely helpful and depending on what is said it could change the route I take in order to do this. Thank you all for taking time to reply to this, for all of you that have been positive towards me during the times I've openly expressed my views on things I want you to know I have nothing but Love for you and I'm always wishing you the best.
