While reading a book today, I came across a quote, which after checking its authenticity, I also found it on the Internet (which I don't think was necessary, because in his books Dan Brown states true facts, addresses, he writes about objects and secret societies that really exist 🙂).
A quote, and a topic that I've been thinking about for years and that has engraved a behavior in my mindset, which I try to live as much as I can...
"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal."
Albert Pike
The great truth.
We will only be remembered for what we have done for others. Those others, when we are gone, will not be interested in how many heights we have reached and what we have achieved in our lives, if we have not shared those achievements (or at least some part of those achievements) with them and, apart from ourselves, have done something good to someone else.
It would be nice if each of us could do something good, and so great, that the whole world and all future generations would remember us by that act, but...
Not all of us are scientists, athletes, inventors, writers..., to leave behind some great and famous works that would be known to the whole world and bring some good to the entire population.
But every good deed, no matter how small, if done to someone else, will be remembered at least by the one to whom we did it.
And that's why I try to do a good deed to someone else, regardless of what and how much I get from others.
Well, as Ilija Čvorović, a character in a Yugoslav film, says: "And me? If you remember, you remember". 🙂
And how does this quote apply to the one world we all find ourselves in, here on Hive?
Well, I mean, in the same way.
Each of us who is here receives from others, but also gives to others.
How much?
It depends on when he joined the community, how much HP he has and how much Hive takes from his wallet.
Some of us are here in order to take more from Hive than they are ready to give, some are investors, so they invest, not only what they got from others through their activities on Hive, but also their money outside of the Hive world, and there are also those who are there only with the funds they have acquired in Hive.
And how is what we have done for others measured in our lives?
The writer left behind his work. Inventors and scientists, the invention they designed, the athlete left new championship results...
All other minor good deeds done to others are measured most often only through the gratitude that the other person sends (and maybe our God also records them somewhere far away, so that he has a reminder when we come to him for confession 🙂).
And what is the situation in Hive?
Here you can easily see who, how and how much is taking and giving 🙂
It is enough to look at the KE indicator.
I opted for the support option, probably because some HBD I could get out of here is not significant to me at this point in my life.
And that's why I don't take anything out of my wallet. Sometimes I publish an interesting post, expecting support and gratitude from other Hive members and the community, in the form of their votes, if they like what I posted 🙂
And now regularly, from day to day and month to month, I strengthen my HP, in order to amplify my voice as much as possible and be able to help other Hivers as much as possible.
I use that boost, like many of us, on the first day of the month, and on #HPUM day, I boost my HP as much as I can...
This month, it was a new 1111 Hive that I put into HP, reaching 25000 Effective HP.
At the same time, these days, my reputation also moved to 75, which was another milestone for me on the Hive road.
In the next few months, and at the latest by the end of the year, I think an interesting plan would be to boost HP up to 30000.
I will do my best, because I think I can do so much, and all in the desire to leave a little more Hiva to everyone else through my voice, to do good to others, as others do to me.
I'm just an ordinary user here, I'm not a developer or a rich whale, who can leave some great contribution, but every day, with an amplified voice, I can share with others a little of the transmission I received here.
So that this post does not end with just my thoughts and statistics, I share with you a photo of an evening walk in the moonlight.
