The Madness of Going Against the Current of the River...
Hello, dear Steemians!
The human society is always bound by reason and governed by a set of rules that determine the general norm of its members by indicating what they should think and how they should behave.
Generalization is always doomed to end in mediocrity, and that is what has happened to our worldwide society nowadays. Though if we were to trace back this problem, we could say that mankind has been afflicted with it ever since the dawn of every community that has ever existed.
In the storm of mediocrity that pulls everyone to its weakening grip and compels them to try and fit in with everybody else, it is not so simple an aspiration to search for originality and uniqueness.
The mediocrity of the human society can be best compared to the current of a flowing river. The river rages on and on in a simple direction, casting aside those who would not conform to its laws of physics or follow its pattern of behavior.
The problem is, in every human society, there are people who cannot conform, and that is when they stand against the current of the river, resisting the pressure of becoming ordinary like everyone else around them.
Unique fates await unique people. In this case, these personalities tend to react to the world around them in three different ways.
Some of them stand still against the raging current, witnessing all the other people go on with their lives. These people know that they are different, but do not know what to do with their uniqueness or how to react to a society that doesn’t seem to accept them.
The second type is the hopeful type. These people struggle and fight as hard as they can, and they swim against the current of the ocean.
They even manage to make a few paces, but they are eventually bound by the doom of living a life of struggle and not achieving anything particular with it, since they have not gone far from the place they were standing.
The third type are those who see themselves as revolutionary geniuses.
They know that they are against the current of the river.
They accept that fact and come to terms with their uniqueness.
They contemplate the fact that they don’t belong to certain groups of society.
These people do not stand still, nor do they struggle in the water.
These are the people who fly, and fly high, against the current that is engulfing everybody else.
If you feel that you are different, if you feel that you have unique ideas and mindsets about how everything should be, do not second guess this gift that is given to you. Anyone can be ordinary.
To be mad enough to dream impossible dreams is what always drives mankind forward. When a truth is first stated, everybody laughs. After a while, they begin to hate the truth and show hostility to those who bear the truth.
Eventually, they begin to understand the truth and embrace it.
This is the same with unique people with a certain madness in their minds.
Do not be afraid of standing against the current of the river of life!
El adaptarse a un patron no permite la evolucion de la humanidad, la evolucion forma parte fundamental de la vida, las diferencias es lo que nos distingue a unos de otros, creo que luchar depende de nosotros si queremos ser iguales o marcar la diferencia

Steem is surely going up by my moral is not. as there are no readers left , like it feels bad when you think about creating some content and search hard for the subject and create a blog and that turns out to be not read by any one and that feels bad.
Anyways @chbartist you are extremely right about going against the current of the river. and offcourse we need to think out of the box to do something creative.
keep flourishing!
I'm new to the platform and can already understand what you're talking about. I see a high demand for readers yet there are not many.
I feel a part of this is due to the difficult nature of joining Steemit. To leave a comment it either costs money or takes 2 weeks to approve an account, in that time the average normie will have forgotten about what he wanted to say.
But that's not to say that it isn't worth contributing to grow the community, it absolutely is... just expect a serious slow growth until the barrier for entry is much easier for the average user.
it just needs time...remember how difficult it was to connect to the internet in the early 90s?
I completely identify with your view on Steemit readership going down. I was slowly starting to build a following when I first started but ended up off the blockchain for awhile. Since I've been back on here it seems very lackluster. I will admit though that I am forever grateful to this platform and community as I recently started my own blog website and was able to take many of my posts from Steemit to add to my blog.
Or maybe, it's us that have to adapt to the changing tide... hmmm, food for thought?
I have to admit that you're rigth and I really love your post. I think we have to be like the third type of persons, who is different but they don't care what the others think. Every unique person has a different ideas to improve the world. We need to support these good ideas because we can make a difference. It has always been considered mad to dream of the impossible, but you can make your dreams come true if you really want to. You can't let the chance go away. And the most important thing, we don't have to be afraid of to go against the current of the river of life.
Excellent review, my friend, and you should always try to go against the flow of life, only this way you can achieve something and change your life for the better! Thank you @chbartist
The truth!
Very interesting opinion and you are right, if there is something unique in us, you need to use it for the benefit of yourself and society, even if it goes against the flow of life!
You make me smile with this kind of message @chbartist, since I was a little girl I am this kind of person, it is innate, I think that God marks us since we are in the womb of our mother, empowers us to walk in the supernatural, I know many people can not explain it to him, and God said: "Let's make the human being
in our image and likeness. Let him have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky; on domestic animals, on wild animals, and on all the reptiles that crawl on the ground. »Genesis 1:26.
I do not know, but since I was born I am a warrior, someone with a different spirit, what people call failure, I call it process, I am like a piece of clay that the potter molds and brings out the best, but if I do not pass that task, I debated and rebuilt myself, being in the oven, it hurts, we are tested like gold, but when we go out, we shine like him. I have no wounds, only scars that make me remember that when I was swimming against the current it could not kill me. I live the word, I make it a reality in my life, I have a violent, unbreakable faith, simply because I know what my purpose is here in the land, and I will not go without fulfilling it.
ISAIAH 43: 2
NKJV When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and if by the rivers, they will not overwhelm you; when you pass through the fire, you will not be burned, nor will the flame burn you.

Thanks @enjoycompany.
Leí todo tu artículo y en el desarrollo del mismo me doy cuenta que lo que dices es realmente cierto.
Lo que no entendí e lo que mencionas sobre la mediocridad. porque no la veo en tu artículo.
Me parece muy bueno tu análisis, es bueno, me gustó.
Es un mensaje que envías y es muy bueno, analizas los diferentes eventos y es muy bueno. pero no veo la mediocridad por allí.
De todos modos me gusto tu análisis, y tu incentivo a apoyar a las personas que necesitan de estos consejos.
FELICIDADES.
with the existence of a very natural nature, where we will be able to see its beauty and feel the cool air that will lead us into freedom of soul and freshness of mind. by seeing the beauty of nature we will be more relaxed in facing this mortal life
This is really inspiring, it feels like i am reading trough a library with all the necesary information bound together. Well done! I really can admire these story's.
just something that i want to add:
There is something really intresting about unrealised dreams, for the people who keep dreaming still, dreams cost nothing and are completely free, the hardest part is to keep them going. Never give up!!
The concept of the river is very accurate and good visual example of life. I really love this post!
