Your reputation is slow to grow on steemit, so it's in your favor to guard it. There are guidelines on posting that the steemit community takes seriously. This community supports originality, especially from someone new to the community. If you can find that balance for yourself you'll grow your account quickly, but receiving a flag will show your process down. So it's better to start off on the right foot. I enjoyed the subject you wrote on. Had it been your interpretation of his writing I would've shown it more love :)
