Steemit and Contribution

Submitting posts merely for the proposition of money degrades the site of any true creativity or entertaining content to be expressed here. If you are going to do something, then do it for the benefit of others and forget about what you may gain in the process. You have an outlet of your voice to the global community here and there are some benefits to be gained if you contribute. The benefits should not be the main reason, if at all any reason, of creating content. The purpose is to entertain and inform others and have fun conversations with people all over the world.

If you operate from a solely narcissistic stand point then you have little to offer to the world. What you should be thinking about is "What do I have to offer to everyone else?". Is it pictures of a beautiful scenery or just another selfie?

When you release yourself upon the world as something that only seeks to gratify its own desires, then you have totally missed the point of the game of life...

Contribute, don't bleed it dry.
