I think most of the Steemers have seen a lot of happy stories here.
People are getting help here, money wise and community wise.
What I personally like about Steemit is that you don't need have much (or even anything) to help others, and I see that this site is all about that. There are charity posts, known people articles and just live experience posts, where they share what they have gone thru and tell us all how they got them selves together. That right there is an inspiration for people that may be going thru the same.
The fun part of Steemit
All the videos, fun stories and songs can really uplift your mood for the day, so make sure you get a daily dosage o that.
The serious part of Steemit
All the serious posts I have found are located in the introduction section, where people tell us where they are from, and let me tell you, there are some really serious ones including jail time and stuff. It's always serious if you see a well known person join Steemit. Remember, serious is not always bad.
Think about it
Steemit is giving us all a great opportunity to help! It does not cost you much, just little bit of your time. To read the post, maybe comment saying your toughs and up-voting the post. A lot of people don't see the value of communication. Chatting to others, that are thinking the same as you are, or maybe even the opposite as you, can lighten up the mood and for some people give meaning to his/her day.
Financial support
As everyone knows, by up-voting posts the writer get some Steem and it's basically for free. Some people use this to get financially more stable, to get money for their projects or passion (The race team for example) or just earning for charity events. Everything helps, so look at it from the bright side.
Trolls/money horders
This one is a little flaw or maybe a problem in Steem. And I think most of active members of the community have seen it. It's the spammers, who only post other people articles or posts from Steem just to try earn some easy cash.. They should be somehow punished. Post your opinion about all this in the comments below!
Thanks you!
