RE: Looking at the self of no importance
I heard a stat, that 10% of the photos ever taken were taken in the last 12 months. Saw an old photo on the wall at a restaurant last night, 20 or so workers, maybe a coal mine; likely at least 100 years ago. One guy was blinking and I wondered if he ever suspected that a century later, for all his life's work, he'd only be known for that fraction of a second.
Maybe 100 years from now that photo will be gone, and the only way he'll be known is by this comment.
Now I want to go back and take a photo...
And, who actually knows his name, just another stranger with a face. Perhaps that is the reason I think the idea is freeing. It is funny as we can see on Steem people struggling now to maintain relevance by acting like children wanting attention.
Proof of life through network. This is why a city can live forever but countries come and go.
