I knew this tale, but just the second part, the one of the pot. It's been used in a speech by our CEO to our employees, go figure! (very motivational one).
Your writing style is lean and very nice to be read, compliments for making a heavy topic very much readable.
Awareness and criticism in life is essential if we don't want to be frogs, or sheep. I wish that steemit shall become a tool and a weapon for awareness and freedom and not another mass-entertain / mass-control instrument it's all up to us! (unlike you, I have a long way in learning how to make heavy things look fun).
First of all thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. I do try to make heavy subjects readable and entertaining so I appreciate you comment a lot.
Steemit is indeed a great way to put forward such subjects, there's a lot of open-minded people in the community which is really great.
Curious about your CEO's speech by the way.
Thanks again.
Well, should I be honest? He was talking about our customers and the prices ..that need to raise slowly. I won't say more as I already can see the sicarios knocking at my door. Haha..ha..ha..mmh.
Haha at least we learned something: It's used everywhere it seems.
yes, even in a twisted and opposite way..unfortunately ;-)
Haha it happens.
Oh btw, I just wrote an article on money laundering and tax dodging..whose message is alike yours in the end. I was discussing with my wife, i really need to find a "captivating" way to put things or else I'm worried that no one will read such bricks :-P
Oh man! That kind of reminded me of the red cross taking millions in donations for Haiti and ended up building 6 houses.
Not 6 thousands, just six. :P
About how to approach subjects, I think you always have to pay attention to the audience.
I could be wrong, but that's what I try to do.
It's sad but your memory of Haiti replicates in many other situations around the world ..for instance, every Italian here donated something for the earthquake in Amatrice and central Italy.. the result? Winter came, people are frozen and homeless and funds have been allocated to build a track for bicycles and other similar amenities. If I think about it, in a true guy fawkes style, I feel like going to prepare some powder lol..I'm a lawyer and I lived these things directly enough to become disgusted about them. We can donate for haiti, nepal or many other causes but it will always be useless if we don't reach and tackle the core of the problem. As I wrote to a friend, yes it's true..inequality was always part of this world, but the difference is that nowadays we don't have an alibi and we cannot say "I didn't know about it". If we stop for a moment to look at puppies and kittens and start to inform ourselves ;-P
