Can you imagine joining a social media block chain 4 years ago, full of hope and enthusiasm about a new way for people to earn money from talking their truths ?... to only then see yourself become the authoritarian monster that you railed against when joining ?
Can you imagine wanting to make the world a better place, to then see yourself making people lives worse from your actions?
Can you imagine the mental gymnastics and energy involved in seeing what a monster you've become, and then having to double down on that ugly person you've morphed into, just to be able justify and rationalize your actions that are morally and ethically disgusting ?
Can you imagine how your actions , and the legacy of your life on the blockchain, will be seen by those who are closest to you?
Can you imagine how much they'll cringe, seeing the person that they'd looked up to and respected, acting like a vindictive,small, and vile person ?
Can you imagine the disappointment they'll feel about someone that they'd held in such high regard?
Can you imagine how cheated they'll feel, knowing that the person they saw was just a mask, a fake persona , and whose actions online day in and day out, showed a very different person altogether?
Can you imagine how the wealth they've been given to them, was as a result of such behaviors, and all they wanted to do was get rid of it as fast as possible, feeling tainted by the source of the wealth ?
Can you imagine the shame they'll feel through your actions ?
I can't imagine being so full of self loathing to ever think that would be an acceptable outcome.
I can't imagine selling my soul and losing the respect of those closest to me for a few shekels and some transitory power.
I can't imagine being so weak and small that the baubles 'of now' would have so much value to me , that I'd risk seeing disappointment in the eyes of those closest to me in the future.
I can't imagine the horrible hellscape that must be present inside such peoples heads , one that would allow themselves to act in such small ways.
I can't imagine such a poverty, desperate, outlook on life.
I can't imagine wanting to be seen as such a failure, and being so spiritually empty, that you'd think money will make up for your shortcomings.
What a dismal , gray, sad, and pathetic world to inhabit....
...and what a testament to your life, when everyone knows full well that you had the option to change into something better, to be the bigger person - and you consciously turned away from it.
....But hey....that's just my take on things.
..... I know I'm respected and loved, for being that bigger person.
....I sleep well.
