Glad to hear about the beach @abh12345, coz I wasn't sure at first where you were heading :D ... you know, either there is abundance, or there isn't. If there is such a thing as abundance in the Steemniverse, then stressing over chasing numbers and rep and crypto etc is unnecessary. If there is a perceived need to accumulate, then there is an accompanying fear of not having enough. Wonder what is enough anyway, and whether one can relax when it is reached!

For what it's worth @abh12345: you do not seem to pursue steemitlife in the above acquisitive manner; you also seem to be saying that you have enough for your needs anyway (even without the arsehole income :). Over the past week or so, the posts and comments of yours that I have read seem to have a tone of conflict (RW!) and now, a bit of dejection. The actions of others seem to be affecting your state of mind (ok, this is based on tiny little snapshots) when there may not be any need for it. We don't know where this is going - it's still beta. Sure you have a much longer view of it (technically too), but the fundamental thing is that we can't change anyone who doesn't wish to change (if someone continues to hide/deny something, this is a form of resistance to your pointing it out and fear of it emerging; but what they do is not your responsibility), and perhaps they don't have best interests of the platform at heart. All you can do is state your mind and you do. I respect you for this, and for your position in general, such as I see it. If there is indeed abundance, then the only inevitable/essential is the demise of scarcity think and all the fear-based activity associated with it (bots, self-votes, networking for profit, writing for profit etc, rather than nothing - for free-flowing self-expression and the flowers in the vase :). Meanwhile, not giving your power away helps 🔆
