"Human beings are not meant to do the same task over and over again"
"Dreams are still not monetized by Facebook. Memories are already outsourced, but dreams belong to something else"
"But losing everything connected me to 90% of the world. I will never forget the feeling of having nothing. In fact, all of us could lose it all again and probably be ok as long as we have a connection to the abundant stream of ideas inside and a group of supportive tribe members to help us when we fall"
Awesomely Awesome. great inspirational content from a great blogger @stellabelle . let me add my insight on every point you mentioned.
1-the meaning of our life. If we go through our lives without purpose then where we going!! what is the value of our lives? Our lifetime goals shouldn't be materialistic and dependent on things. we're able to get the things we want it's a not a problem when we lose them we can back up again, but when we lose our lives it's too hard to get it back. following the usual terrible life system includes a stable career and a family life.
2-Dreams are something you are just thinking about,You have act upon those thoughts otherwise they would still meaningless. Some people tend to dream about something forever that's truly pathetic.dreams are imaginary, endless and free on the other hand goals based on reality, have a cost and have deadlines.
3-it's all about how we visualize ourselves in the inside that what make a difference. the feeling of having nothing in the outside could never defeat you if you're satisfied in the inside.
in fact all of this point I made a short post 4 days ago especially to write about them and those insights are from the post. I asked a question and tried to answer it "what do you want your life to mean" I wrote this post because am really want to speak my mind and transfer what I feel into words. it's original content not plagiarized.
"I feel bad that he feels he has zero to offer in the way of thoughts, ideas." totally agree with you " I don't care that they stole my Idea I care that they don't have any of their own" nikola tesla
I believe that if I had not read Tesla's autobiography, I might not have found steem when I did. That book had a profound effect on the way I think.
I love to read about mathematicians and physicists, I read a lot about tesla, but am not read this book. I think I have to read it.
We live in a world where the elites have become so powerful they have created ideologies to protect their own profits and people support them.
We as you said are just numbers and with our current system and hierarchal structures lead the masses at the bottom to just be chess pieces for the people at the top.
Collaborative Commons is the future where we can all help each other and make a more equal and just world and steemit and the blockchain is just the start of this.
Rather than us doing mechanistic tasks, I prefer blogging and writing about what I enjoy. The mind has an abundance of glory which is ambiguous and eccentric. A place where uniqueness is bred and not accustomed to restraints and confinements.
That is why I hope steemit works out in the end so I can pursue what I love rather than conforming to the unyielding conventional jobs of the world.
One truly amazing video @stellabelle
I think people fail to grasp why Steem was invented......Dan was in the same bitcointalk forum as Satoshi Nakamoto. He was aware of the fact that Bitcoin mining is super wasteful of energy, plus computers are doing the computations, not human minds. This system was devised to have human minds do the mining, while the people in here decided what was of value.
yeah, I can see you're completely dedicated to this platform, and i see passionate people all over, among the bins of mainstream greed buckets, that don't yet have an awareness of their own minds.
In 6 years, my most thought-provoking videos, in which i discuss things like this, on youtube this only got 94 views. I think maybe i was talking about future events, and perhaps people are not used to discussing these things....Steemit allows for these past ideas of mine to come to light....I always just created what i wanted, because i saw art and expression as the last thing that no one could take away from me.
Very inspiring words! But a very sad note to end with... Maybe I'm too naive, but I can't agree with that last sentence... I think many people are indeed not ready for this, but how could that mean we waste our dreams?
Dreams cannot be wasted, they can be realized, but not wasted. Makes me think of Martin Luther King's dream, sadly there is still racism in this world, but is his dream wasted?
Keep your dreams alive!
I love your idea of daily blogging to sort through the mess. I feel like it's something I need to start doing as well, there's so much guff battering around up there that it's hard to sort the good from the bad. And it would be wonderful if some of the spammers and plagiarisers started truly sharing on here. I don't think I'm very good at what I'm doing on here either but I'm trying to post things that are at least written in my own words. And I think that's the most important thing.
I suspect part of the problem is language barrier, hopefully as Steemit becomes big enough to host communities of different language groups people will be more forthcoming with their own content. Right now I'm guessing the major earner is still English language articles and that will be an issue for a lot of people.
You just perfectly described exactly how I feel. I love having all sorts of ideas just come to mind. It just flows like a river. I can't stop it. I don't want to stop it. It makes me happy!! I'm not unhappy at work. I deal with great people everyday however this is different... it's like it's what I was meant to be doing. I don't mind working at it. In fact, I love working at it. It's fun, it keeps my brain alive and makes me a better me than I was. The part about our dreams and idea's that haven't been commodified yet, well, that can create sooo much opportunity for so many people right here on this platform :):) As always, great work :):)
Gosh. You know I was actually thinking away to myself today about the scammers on here, and that I'd actually really like to know their story, where they're from & what their thoughts are. I imagine (not all and I could be wrong) are in survival mode, from this ugly man made thing called poverty. It's the reason they came to Steemit isn't it? Look at the destruction caused by the greed & "Need" for money? It seems like there's such a huge battle going on internally & externally and some people just can not imagine a life outside the system. There is nothing natural about the systems currently in place. Shedding old skin is never easy but it is always worth it. Oh god i think about this stuff almost all day every day. I love this post! Good hearing your friends thoughts too 💫
I am interested in the scammers' stories too. If they would tell their real story, imagine what that could be like? Honesty takes a while to bloom though. I am not optimistic in this regard as I have seen many scammers after they are caught, continue scamming. But steem is weird because no one can be banned. It's a bit scary, on a few levels, if you know what i mean.
The 2008 financial crisis changed everything. There's a great podcast in which the co-author of The Fourth Turning talks about how it marked the beginning of the dramatic Turning that we are now halfway through.
Well Good Morning To You Brother :)
I am not a brother actually...
Oh Sorry 'Bout That Sis :), My Bad :p
Ha ha ha 👍😊
Hi! I drew you.
Please watch it if you like!

My last message to you made me realize what I fear: the world is not yet ready for Steemit: too much people are afraid to love, afraid to give, afraid to be true and honest … Even a reaction to messages has become difficult for lot of people … Many people see themselves as the center of the world … Is there hope ? I want to believe there is, but right now I don’t see it. Why so much suffering ?
Human consciousness is at a very low level right now. This is of course related to the hierarchy of needs. Very few people on earth have enough resources, so they are in a state of suffering. They see others making money in here, and they copy for they don't know themselves. They have neglected their souls. I see this as the main problem. It is hard to earn in here without becoming oneself, fully.
