RE: Are You Creating Uptopia Or Dystopia

in #busy7 years ago (edited)

I was watching a documentary about various factors of this just the other night. It was called The Four Horsemen, released in 2013.

It highlights how it's not what we do know, it's what we do not. It's a very non-bias documentary and just explains the system and aims to teach people why it is the way it is. Most people are apathetic to the world because they believe they can't do anything about it; when infact it's quite the opposite. The problem is (just like you highlighted), that people are conditioned into this so badly that they don't even question what they believe.

I remember reading Napoleon Hills book Think and Grow Rich about 5 years ago and after he said there was a secret inside the pages and you'll find it by the end, I read it twice over and still didn't get it. It wasn't until I started applying some of the principles and lessons in the book that I realised that the secret is the name of the book.

Direct your thoughts, learn how to think.

Being rich is weak on it's own. If you want to just be rich, you may as well jump onto the bandwagon with Goldman Sachs right now and get your rubber gloves on so you can dish out the handjobs while you're begging for your crypto. Learn how to think for yourself and direct your thoughts towards change and positive aspects that can revolutionise our world, for us. Build up genuine relationships and learn from each other, don't chase after money, hundreds of tokens and pure monetary gain. You'll just end up like one of them.

Didn't mean to end up in a rant in this comment. Just something that's very close to my heart too.

Think and grow smart - that should be your book @taskmaster4450. Could get it marketed to us all here in the crypto space ;)

Could put it on Dbook.org...steem's very own ebook platform.

@calumam I loved what you said about focussing on building genuine relationships (and not chasing money).

I know some people who are not really intrigued about what the blockchain can do, but only whether the alt coins they invested in are going up in value.

But it's sad because ultimately, community and relationships are what matters the most.
