In the face of overwhelming and chaotic odds, we find a spectrum of conflict and emotion. The irregular flow of data confuses us. It distracts us from the perception of what we should do. It enslaves you to the concept that there is nothing you can do.

They are the ones that do not go gentle into that good night. They rage against the dying of the light. Despite the confusion and turmoil, these individuals focus upon a single wavelength of light.

Welcome to the Word of the Week!

@Calumam is the creator of the Word of the Week Contest and this week's entry. Contestants create and post articles focused upon the chosen word.

Winners of the event earn NFT art and other potential prizes by Cal, but that's not all. Participating in the Contest itself is its reward.

It's a challenge of a different sort on both the evaluation side and the content creator side. He attempts to bring consistency, formality, and objectivity to a usually subjective process. It is a fascinating event.

There are some critical issues to discuss related to participation in the community and HIVE in general.
