Whenever I choose to 'Like' a post it is simply because it either resonates with me, I agree with it, the post taught me something, I enjoyed reading through it or admired some statements within the post, it was a unique perspective, but simply because I liked it and it was positively received in my heart and mind. Thanks to the Philosophy class I took this recently finished school semester, Socrates and his approach has had quite an impact on me in his intellectual humility (I know nothing) and, more relevant to here, his predilection for viewing everybody and anybody he meets as a potential teacher of wisdom in any capacity, thus how my approach is structured.
I like - no, LOVE - every member of this community even if I have not directly corresponded with a few of you, and indeed it is completely impossible for me to dislike anybody here, form any judgmental or negative conceptions about any, feel apprehension or aversion to any, conduct myself in a disharmonious manner or get into a heated debate with any here as I perceive you all as various personas the Creator has manifested Itself as though on the individual level I enjoy everyone's unique personality here and cherish everyone's perspectives, opinions and statements here, or as much as your personalities are expressed through and color the thoughts that are written here by you all.
There's times when some of my posts get a few or many likes, and other times when no likes are given to a comprehensive post of mine, though for the most part this is of little concern to me because, as Oceania said, this shouldn't become geared towards being a popularity contest and when I post I don't do so to get likes or to stroke my ego from this, especially considering I rarely if ever pre-emptively ponder on what I'm going to post and ~95% of my posts are a case of automatic writing/typing written by an empty, detached, quiet, thoughtless and peaceful shell channeling a source within.
In any case, I love all of you and appreciate all the words you guys speak here. Let the good times roll!
