Omg Omi... this is a post on its own, a very good one at that...  listen I mostly agree with the things you've outlined, believe it or not... Regarding the delegated SP, that is incorrect actually... i delegated about 2800 SP out, I've never received a penny for it, it does not come back to me. 

I've told you before my selfishness can be viewed as selfless.. i enjoy helping, it gives me purpose and joy....

I double checked and corrected that in my comment to @tcpolymath. 

And yes, we are of the same vein in respect to intrinsic values. I get so much joy from giving and helping as well, that payment for my actual effort sometimes feels like I'm getting too much. ♥️

My father used to say to me by not receiving, I rob HIM of the gift of giving. And by not resourcing in my community, I have nothing to offer at home or back to the community. Hence work-ethic.

From my point of view, generosity is a behavior. Selflessness is a value that doesn't naturally give rise to genuine generous behavior. The hijackers that flew themselves and hundreds of other people into the twin-towers, we're truly selfless people.

Sometimes truth seems brutal.... case in point... 
>The hijackers that flew themselves and hundreds of other people into the twin-towers, we're truly selfless people.

Can we argue otherwise?

I agree, @meno.

It's been amazing reading for me... and I caught it JUST as I was about to close down all browser tabs to focus on recording.... couldn't stop reading.

And then of course had to jump in to Thank Omi, which resulted in my yabbering away. Mercy! Steemit is sooo addictive! ;)

I'm going to find a way to highlight and link back to this post this week. It is epic! ;)

Well... Thank you for stopping by... I have to say I feel quite lucky at times, some of my frequent readers are prolific thinkers themselves.  Omi is always making me flex the mental muscle and Zyx (funny enough he has now shown up yet) is never too far behind.

If you are one to enjoy philosophy, and overthinking things... two accounts I would recommend to follow.

My pleasure. Sounds like you have great readers who keep you on your toes, @meno. ;)

I follow @omitaylor already and have to make sure brain is fresh when visiting her blog or reading her comments elsewhere. ;)

Don't know Zyx. Will check out. Thanks for heads up!
