First of all, this is a good post, written from the heart. It is a 600 plus word post which is average size at hive. More importantly it talks about a message and your point of view. Whether I like it or not, agree with it or not: it’s a well articulated point of view.
If you posted content like this once a week or twice a week on various interesting topics I would engage and upvote it if I agree with it and see fit for the blockchain.
When I vote it is entirely my opinion on how vote it and what I feel good or bad the chain. No one can tell me how I vote or not vote. How I downvote or upvote is entirely upto me and me alone.
So I think I explained what is acceptable to me and what is not. This post is 100% acceptable if this was your only active post for the week, but unfortunately it is not. You have 6 other posts that are currently active.
