RE: Do We Really LEARN from our Experiences?
Maybe we are trying to live out the adage "if at first you don't succeed..." Ever believing this time its going to be different.
Why are we on this site putting in time right now? You, as well as I, know the track record of these types of sites... We think (believe) this time its going to be different...
Agreed... we are often stubborn. But at least we can apply wisdom...
For example, I am on this site blogging because I miss social blogging (which will be my next post, this morning!) and here's a venue. But I am FULLY prepared for Steemit to go away tomorrow, or next week, or next month... as I am yet to see a site like this succeed, in the long term. And so, I make the conscious choices to (a) enjoy myself while I am here and (b) backing up every single piece of content I create to a file on my hard drive so IF there's suddenly "nothing here" I can shrug, say "well, that was fun!" and move on without a great sense of loss...
But thanks for your comment... you offered me an important piece of insight! I realize, just now, that I don't believe this time is going to be different, I merely hope this time will be different.
