Deep breaths
<div class="text-justify">

You know those birthdays that are filled with doing awesome things, with awesome people and feeling awesome? This is one of those this year. But rather than complain about my birthday, I will complain about something else...

https://i.imgur.com/W7Bb6Fk.jpg

Firstly, I was writing my post in SteemPeak and at around the 800 word mark, I accidentally closed the tab and it didn't save as a draft. Doh. That is pretty annoying. 

Secondly, Steem is pumping and I have no liquid Steem to trade with and increase my stake because I powered it all up to support the witnesses - Yet, there is about 100 million Steem already on the exchanges from people who seem to not give a fuck. That is pretty annoying too. 

As you can likely hear, I am a bit frustrated. Likely because, 

Thirdly, my daughter was up most of the night with some stomach pains and I only got about 3 hours sleep in total. That is pretty annoying as well.

>Meh...

There are so many things going on that carry so much risk, it is likely going to have an affect and put pressure on my mood. The Steem blockchain stuff is an added variable of course, but it is one that I have tried to come to terms with through having the investing mindset that, I have already lost my investment. It isn't an easy path to take, as the devil knows that I could really do with a bit of a financial win, considering how suckful the last 4 have been. 

>But then, couldn't we all do with a financial win?

At least that is how we all feel, no matter how little or much we may have. Just think about what is going on with Justin Sun for a moment, a person that is worth something like 200 Million dollars, yet seems to want to fuck over an entire community of thousands in order to make a little bit more, or perhaps after the last few weeks, limit his losses. Human nature?

Maybe common human nature, but I do not think it is an inherent trait, or at least, one that has to be adhered to. There are good people in the world also. 

But, financial consideration has to come into play and based on the nature of economy, it is always going to bring in states of competition, as supply and demand set up the conditions for rivalry. And once the rivalry starts, other factors come into play - like ego. Lots of egos flying around at the moment. 

I wonder what my ego is like, or perhaps, what people think it is like. I like most people probably think I am relatively balanced and I would predict that those who know me would agree, but I am unsure if that would translate into people's impressions of my online - at least for the people who haven't met me in person. 

I don't think I am so different though, but I believe that a lot of communication is lost through the keyboard, as there are no tones, gestures or expressions to add context. Also, there is no feedback from the audience in those areas that indicates whether there is clear understanding or not. Essentially, people read and form their opinion on a topic without actually considering the intention behind what is being said, or the context that frames. This means that the opinion is largely an indicator of the listener's mind, not necessarily the author's.

Online, it is possible to take the most uncharitable view of a conversation or idea, rather than the overarching meaning or intention and therefore, poison the conversation. Most of this might be because people seem to have forgotten how to listen, as all they actually care about is what they have on their mind and therefore use that to filter all the inputs through, tainting them with their personal bias. 

Maybe this is the way it always has been, but I feel that with the environment of the internet and the incentives it provides, the *shout into the void* from any platform and under any circumstance to listen for an echo back from strangers, has amplified it. 

>But, that might just be me - *shouting into the void.*

As said, I could be a little frustrated with all the things on my plate at the moment, but at least on Steem I have the chance to clear my thoughts and cleanse my palate so that I can taste life cleanly once again. When the mind is under pressure, it tends to close itself off to experience and miss the opportunities that present themselves in the moment. 

>Deep breath

Let's see what is out there.

They say shouting into the void is actually good for the soul. I think that a lot of people are extremely self conscience of stepping out their back door and just yelling at the top of their lungs any more. As a kid I could remember hearing friends parents and mine yelling that "Dinner is Ready" I don't know when I stopped hearing that in neighborhoods. On camping trips I used to hear people just primal type yell, granted it has been a few years since I have been camping, but the last few times I went no noise at all other than loud bad music from obnoxious and oblivious campers to others solitude. Maybe that is part of why we rant and rave on-line now, in the walking world it has become frowned upon.

Yes, I think as a society, we have become much quieter publicly, unless angry or drunk - then more obnoxious. 

Shouting into the void is therapeutic, until one expects an answer and, that answer to be favourable and supportive :)

The potential reasons as to why he's doing this are many. While I don't think he considers it possible to persuade the Steem community to join his network any longer, he might want to retaliate foiling his plans. It's really strange because he must know that the chain will be forked if he wins.

It is a strange case as the only win for him seems to be working toward a resolution with the community.

It's even stranger of him to refer to himself in the third person.

I am using steempeak since last few days and I saw the draft is auto saved. Is it like if you close the tab, then it's gone ? 

And if you think, you have already lost your investment, then so do all of us. I was powering down, but then power up all of it, to support the witnesses. So all locked :)
