RE: No man is an Island: The self-imposed limitations on Liberty
So much truth in what you are saying here, I have given lip service to Freedom, but when I landed here on SteemIt, only then did I realize how rarely I have had the chance to "practice".
My mind cries out for someone (else) to fix things from time-to-time, it is unusual to think we have to solve our own problems.
lol , it's been an eye opener.
Steemit has opened my eyes to both hope and disappointment. We have/(had?) such a chance to bring something fundamentally better to the masses and it is just draining away into a narrow set of pockets. I don't get it... there really is no end to greed when those who fight against mimic the 'enemy'.
But, what can you expect from humans, we have done it for 2 million years give or take, why think we would change anything now? I go through stages where I think we can do it and others where I think 'screw it, power down and buy a few other coins instead'....yet, still powering up.
Humans are a frustrating mixture. I'm guilty of that. Influencing people is harder than herding cats.
