I upvoted you @berniesanders and you @smooth. I mean, I upvoted your comments but what I really meant is what I just said, I upvoted the person you are, first and foremost. I mean, I upvoted your values, your wittiness and your sageness. I upvoted both of you for the the persons that both of you are. 

I won't lie. I had upvoted this post of @dollarvigilante. I upvoted it not because it was a good post, I had upvoted it for the curation reward, which I knew would be great but I was displeased by the situation.

I just read a couple of minutes ago that it had been down voted. I think it's a very good thing. I hope @dollarvigilante and everyone else can see this as a sensical action. 

I was thinking about Steemit all day long, as I now do all the time, and more precisely, about the fact that so many of the posts I upvote aren't because I support the person or even the intent vehiculated by the post but because of the curation reward and I couldn't be more sad of this fact and I know it is a real challenge that has to be overcome.  

I was looking for solutions all day long or maybe this isn't exact. Maybe I knew the solution all along, after all, Steem is the greatest sharing platform there is and there's no sharing without influencing, so that's what I plan to do. 

I plan to influence people to write the most meaningful, inspirational and beneficial things, they can. Our writings should always take into consideration the greater good, no matter how insignificant or trivial the subject might look, everything has its importance in the grand scheme of things, laughter, entertaining, personal grievances, play, fun, etc all have their importance. 

At the same time, I'll be clear as to who I plan to upvote and why. Those I upvote will be the people who will be trying to  write the most  meaningful, inspirational and beneficial things, never losing sight of the  greater good of humanity.  

I plan on influencing people to write the most meaningful, inspirational and beneficial things by trying to do just that, trying to write the most meaningful, inspirational and beneficial things I can come up with. 

I could probably write this comment as a post and make some Steem out of it but I plan to come up with something a lot more meaningful, inspirational, whole and encompassing.

@berniesanders, @smooth, you are Legends. I rarely talk about Legends. There's so many supernatural myths surrounding Legends that it becomes next to impossible to discern the truth from the false. You both made clear, that you were simple Steemians just like each of us. I couldn't agree more and that makes us all Legends and I couldn't agree more with this also. 

All of us, Steemians and non-Steemians are Legends and Steem is going to help us as individual and as a unit to realize it, to realize that we are  Legends. Legends here to better ourselves and each other, here to cherish life and everything that lives and exist and everything that is is here to be cherished and enjoyed!

I'm not this and that about @dollarvigilante's post or anyone who upvoted it, I want to restate this, I upvoted @dollarvigilante's post. It not necessarily a bad post but not what I'm looking for here on the Steemchain. I'll precise what I'm looking for, in my next post. 

I haven't written anything yet for my next post, but my next post has been in me since I was born. Yeah sure! I can't wait to put it on paper and share it but everything in its own time. This is how I see things. On the other hand I can't wait to share my views. 

2 days ago I would have no idea what I would be writing next on the Steemchain and I was a bit scared. I felt like the Steemchain could be put to much better use than what it is today. So I look foreward to put my two Steems in and see what comes out. 

I haven't read the trending page or any of the hot posts since I got back from work. I don't really recognized myself there. I don't really see my fundamentals concerns being address there either and I plan to remediate to this as soon as I feel it's the right tome for me to being writing my major next stuff. 

Thank you @berniesanders and @smooth and everyone who down voted as well as everyone who just like me upvoted @dollarvigilante's post, no matter what the reasons or intents! 

Thank you for making Steem and the world a better place! 

Thank you for being yourselves!
