@mindhunter Thank you very much. I saw your video on supporting and attracting more women to Steemit and it is nice to see your words hold weight. I appreciate the helpful tips, sharing of articles and the philosophical banter. I think at this point in my life, after having and leaving a lucrative career to study philosophy I'd settle for someone to just read my stuff, turn off the TV, go for a walk and be kinder to their neighbours. Studying philosophy shook my core and changed how I see the world and most importantly how I see myself. It gave me a language to talk about things that matter to me and as I discovered have mattered through out history. I mostly want to pass that gift on to others but to do that you need a certain amount of recognition and influence so people pay attention. There are no Machiavellian intentions with my writing. I only seek to live better and it seems being in the world with others implies that I have to be concerned with how others live too. I seek excellence as a habit much how Aristotle talked about in his Nicomachean Ethics. We are after all, social and political animals. When we choose .....we choose for everyone, right? BTW, I am very envious of your travels.
Final thought: You posted something about if you could quit your job and travel would you? I would leave my job in a heart beat if I could support myself off grid, walk everyday and do pottery and knit. As much as I love the idea of travel I would love a home I didn't feel the need to take a vacation from.

I know in my life that my philosophy has been large enough to save someone's life - including my own ;) Through Steemit we can save many more lives from despair.
BTW I have topic idea for you ... 'If you could teach the world one thing based on your own philosophy experiences, what would it be?' ... now there is a post idea with your name written on it :)

Recent life experiences have silenced me in some aspects and I had become accustomed to not being listened to. I guess the saying holds true (I'm probably not stating this accurately): speak the truth even if your voice shakes. The right people will find you and be all too willing to listen at least this is part of what I would include in my version of Quest Physics. I borrowed that term from Eat, Pray, Love as Elizabeth Gilbert likely has the best version to date: “I've come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call "The Physics of The Quest" — a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: "If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself... then truth will not be withheld from you." Or so I've come to believe.”

P.S. Post idea #2: Which philosopher from history would probably gain the biggest following on Steemit today? For me: Socrates ;)

Actually it would be someone in contemporary times. He uses philosophy, social media, and film making to produce excellent inspiring philosophical rifts. His name is Jason Silva. I will post a video below as well.

Trust me. The emotion is still there. Slowing things down is for everyone's safety. Haha. I am a Leo with a Scorpio rising (its a lot of a lot). BTW, its 4:40 am here...sigh
