“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” ― Oscar Wilde
Recently friend of mine joined Steem and it was interesting to recognize myself in him when I first started out. That pure joy and excitement for creating and exploring the new playground. Unaware of so many things only more seasoned users can see and grasp for they have been observing this tiny microcosm a while longer. Studying it’s inner workings and patterns of human behavior visible on the canvas of the blockchain.
For someone who spends a lot of time thinking about morals, values, ethics and idealism, it becomes clear soon enough that in our imperfect world there are also no perfect systems even in microworlds. How come? We have this beautiful idea. Is that not enough for guidelines? Not everyone shares the same vision for what would be ideal.
There is constant clash of different truths. Neverending battle between our consciousness. That is our existence, wandering in the darkness looking for our path. Some never wish to let go of old ways, work hard for something new, hopefully better instead. It is never boring at least, but slightly draining or very draining. Depends.
Sometimes we all manage to burn the candle from both ends. Only we know our limitations and even then it can get out of hand quickly if we are not aware of the signs. It should be mandatory to step back every now and then to revalue, purify and look at things in retrospect to move forward, towards progress and goals we have set out to do in the first place.
