Everyone of us has to do the things we gotta do just to get by. The work, the sleep, the daily grind.

That's what brings the nihilism on, and with nihilism comes depression.

But inside all of us there is a candle that burns away all that nihilism, if we light it. It is whatever dream we carry, whatever special thing we want to achieve, for others and for ourselves. If you have a project inside you, the nihilism won't get you. The nihilism is just another obstacle standing between you and your project, an obstacle to be overcome by dreaming.

This blockchain is a worldchanging dream, the first still-in-beta mass attempt to break social networks out of centralised manipulative control. Everyday you post here, you are part of a shared dream, that swats away nihilism like a fly.

Steem may be just one step on the road to this freedom, but like Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier was a necessary step before man could go to the moon, you are right now dreaming the first steps of a dream that will create a better future for mankind.

Every day a little project, every day a dream. The grind is background noise. :)
