Agreed.  I think I am finally at acceptance.  There was a grief like process of accepting the reality.

very well said thanks for sharing your advise

@oldtimer, Completely agreed. You nicely compared steemian with camel photo clicks. Awesome.

100% agree sir investment or withdrawal is depends on users decision. 

Yes! There's no other platform quite like it. It's a guilty pleasure and I love it, warts and all.

The best thing how you made use of your own photographs...to show the harsh reality currently we are in....this is the master class..I believe angle of the photographs speaks up....for sure you never thought you will use them to portray some hidden message

The camel sums it all up 😂

Hello oldtimer, I can tell you that the message and the photos are perfect today, many despaired and believed that being in steemit is making easy money, now many have left, I live in venezuela today I can tell you that the prices of the food over the minimum salary in fact is not enough to buy food for a whole month but that does not make me want to leave steemit, here I keep trying to do better every day, if we put our part this can work.

Thanks for your support oldtimer!

Nicely said. Just post and forget about the price.

I thing at these times you see who is here for the interaction and community as they are still here 
And as you say it is better to make a little here for ourselves and not a lot for the owners on farcebook

jajaja muy bueno! / great!

the camel is a good example of effort

Every situation teaches up something we just need to digest it and continue to move.

I love this post and it is a very valid point. We at least have freedom and it's harder to censor free of speech but many times I would just like to ask: what are you doing to grow and prevent grass from dying?

You couldn't have been more creative, you conjugated the publication with the camel, at the same time that you give us some life lessons, have patience and if even so, we are not convinced by the net, go humbly, because as you say nobody forced us to be in it. Maybe because of how new I am I have fun reading and interacting with good writers like my friend @oldtimer.

I'm here because this is home, and there is nowhere else I would rather be!

@oldtimer true story!
