RE: Community - What is it Good For?

in #community7 years ago (edited)

Wow, what is this amazing Narnia you live in where you have a Steve and a Heidi and a Dave and a Roman popping out of their daily jobs to come help you with your otherwise Sisyphean task? I almost picture the baker coming out in a baker's hat, covered in flour, and waving at you, while a bus conductor, wearing uniform and jaunty cap gives you a couple of toots of the horn.

But I take your point. I also hope Steemit turns out to be that kind of neighborhood.

Ps. your profile photo looks painful!

Sort:  

Just life in a village on the Oregon coast.

The piercings shown in the profile pic I have foregone, but, tbqh, see plenty that look at least as painful daily. That man seems to have been raised in a culture where such piercings were the norm, and he seems to be thumbing his nose at us while he obediently shows the piercing. The profile pic strikes me as rebellious in sensibility, while apparently obedient to the photographer - an apt metaphor for my own condition.

Interesting - a paradox. I like his attitude as well. I should look for a photo that expresses who I am without showing my actual face, which I don't particularly like to put out on the internet.

Your village sounds nice. I'd like to live in a community like that some day.

I do recommend living amongst people fewer in number, and larger in life. I hope you can.
