I always close my posts with "Thanks for your time and attention" and "Just say NO to slavery".
Here's why.
Thanks for your time and attention
Time and attention are two forms of spiritual currency. They are things that every individual has.
That’s why we have the expressions “spend time” and “pay attention”, because time and attention are currency.
What an individual invests their time and attention in will give a return on that investment. This will manifest results for the individual as well as, to a certain extent, the world at large.
For Example:
Individual “A” spends time reading “The Most Dangerous Superstition” by Larken Rose. This individual has invested time and attention, and the return on that investment is knowledge and understanding.
Knowledge that external authority is illusion. Knowledge of right and wrong in terms of human behavior.
This person might now go out and have a positive effect for liberty in the human experience by spreading the truth to others, by refusing to be searched at a checkpoint, by creating concepts and/or technologies that help people evacuate the state, or many other right actions.
Individual “B” spends time watching “Cops” and playing “Grand Theft Auto”. This individual will receive ignorance as a return on their investment. This person might now go out and become a cop, a soldier, or some other violence-oriented occupation.
They will likely contribute, via their actions, to the continuance of human suffering and slavery. This person will comply with others claiming to be authority.
How does this relate to my writings and blog posts here on Steemit?
It’s simple.
Nearly all of my creations have messages of liberty. By putting time and attention into reading my writings, individuals can gain some knowledge and understanding. This is why I started to write and why I continue to write.
That’s why I thank people for their time and attention. Because they are using their time and attention for something that will contribute to greater liberty, on a small scale at the very least.
That’s the first part. The other closing line I’ve used for many months now is:
Just say “NO” to slavery.
Why is this important?
Because when someone is trying to violate your rights, you have to say “NO” so that you maintain your liberty, and resist slavery. No is a very powerful word. It is a word of resistance, of disobedience, and ultimately, of liberty.
