We do not know what is a curse for us, but what, for us, a blessing. Do not be afraid. Probably now, this is the most important.
For me, the last year and three months were a terrible test, it was then that I lost my job, and, I could not find it, until now, but God has kept me and my family, all this time. For employers, my 47 years is like a sentence.
Now, I look at the panic that accompanies people who are left without work, in view of quarantine, and I understand how much I was, for this, prepared, lol. We can say that I have been quarantined for more than a year now.
I haven’t lost anything, there is just as much bread on my table, I’m dressed and shod, coughing, no less and no more than a year ago, asthma makes itself felt, that's all, Thank God. We cannot add anything to ourselves if God does not protect us.

steem has given me much than what i can expect

Emotional stake is an interesting topic. The beleaguered rappler.com introduced a "mood meter", with 8 emotions to chose from, below each article when they launched (2013?). 

On the homepage, the most voted upon articles would be displayed, in a very prominent and slightly interactive graphic, with the main chosen emotion, and also ripples to other articles the same people had voted on.

Generally, it seems that society is very angry and has little tolerance. But positive celebrity news makes them happy.

In 20/20 hindsight, it was a waste of developer resources - but great practice for the team at the time. Nothing the internet hadn't yet taught us was revealed.

That's the rub, with the afterlife. We don't get to *decide* what's true; we get to *discern* what's true.

As an introvert, I didn't have to change my daily routine much. However, I suffer without gym training and my favorite library. The positive side: I have more time for Steemit as well, and for cooking experiments.

> I want to hear the observations from real experience and real life.

*erm...* in my case, I think that's exactly what I've been doing in every comment that I drop in each one of your posts since three years ago. Observations from **real experience and real life.**

***How else could I do it than from 'real experiences and real life'?***

Although I must admit, that sometimes, I express them in a somewhat cryptic way but not entirely impersonal or anonymous. Yeah, privacy stands out. But nonetheless; always **Observations** from real experience and real life. And that's only because I like to make people think and reply back beyond reach. :)

>  If we are in a constant state of intentional change and always on our toes on purpose, our ability to not get caught on the backfoot increases, and we can react in what is hopefully a cleaner and leaner way

Yes but that's also exhausting XD

I'm curious as to how one would code emotional stake, that would be a much cooler metric than "reputation" ;D

Beautifully put and very well written.

> It seems to me that while so many people are locked in doors and social interaction in the real world is being put on hiatus, it is the perfect time to think, write and engage. 

I 100% agree with this. There's an opportunity in any situation and this might well be the 'time' to come up with some great writing, thinking and actions.

I myself plan to make use of the situation by finally focusing on the actual transition from 50 k words that I wrote in november for #nanowrimo in a novel, as well as to focus on the children's book that spawned from it.

Thinking about death is highly important and something most people I know don't do ( enough ). These days it's impossible not to think of it and I feel this wake up call was very much needed. Let's hope that all of this leads to a happier and healthier world.

All the best,

Vincent

I didn't know what you mean with the elderly has a higher risk since it's not true. People seem to think that because more elderly people die and I think there's a good reason for that (way less care, attention, 70+ is no longer welcome in our hospital). 
Over 50% with us is younger than 40 years and the amount of teenagers is high. 

I hope you stay safe and your wife will recover soon. 
It's a bit chaotic here too. Two kids home, lessons by television and? It will save me money for sure but to be honest I love the hours home alone.

Writing an online will can be the new normal on Steemit :P Thanks for being the first. Can I ask how house purchasing work between couples in your country? When you mentioned "we" bought a house meant both of you paid 50:50 for the house or as long as her name is in the house deed and you paid 100%? I'm confuse with the way feminism work in some countries. Thanks!
