I don’t believe that any of us are evil or intentionally trying to do wrong here. We’re simply acting based on our experiences and how others are treating us. I say this because every one of us has done something on this platform that we hadn’t done before. Some began their journey firmly grounded in principles they passionately defended—but over time, those principles shifted as other users behaved differently toward them.
If you truly have good intentions for the platform, then why are you now acting against the very principles you once believed in? Why are you doing things that go against what you stood for? It’s because your principles are being challenged, and you're now in a position where you feel the need to take defensive or even negative actions to protect yourself—to prove that you’re strong enough to stand up to those threatening your presence on this platform.
Maybe we are simply predictable beings. When everything around us benefits our growth and success, we feel positively motivated. But when we start to feel irrelevant or challenged, we become defensive. The fear of being left behind drives us to act aggressively toward those who are rising and threatening our power or influence.
The threat of losing relevance pushes us to take actions that go against the very principles we claimed to believe in—principles we held onto firmly when everything was working in our favor, right?
But the moment others start acting against us, we tap into our darker side, taking steps to defend ourselves—even if it means hurting others in the process.
In the end, it’s not just about holding onto our principles when things are easy—but staying true to them when they’re tested. That’s when our real character shows, and the platform reveals who we truly are.
