6 Reasons It's Hard to Get Seen on Steemit and 16 Specific Things You Can Do to FIX it Today

I think serving those that you cannot hope to gain from is a sign of true character. I believe in socialist ideals, but, as I read christian scripture, I note, no one is coerced into sharing. It's voluntary. If sharing happens under threat of imprisonment or death, it's not compassion, it's extortion. So, govt charity is a no-go for me.

I agree... unconditional love without expectation. Also, sharing that is coerced is like asking for a kiss, it's less meaningful. Problem is, when people are left to their own devices, without governments or religions gently nudging them towards the better angels of their nature, they tend to forget to do the right thing, altogether...

I'm not a Christian, but my wife is, and I occasionally accompany her to church & find inspiration in the Bible. What I do know is that Jesus was not a Capitalist, nor any spiritual leader. Challenge is finding balance in life.
