[@miracleshappen4483]

In Italian we say "Quando c'e' la salute c'e' tutto!" which means "When there is health, there is everything". What happened in Thailand, happened everywhere. When I was a child in Italy (I 'm over 50 now), we used to share everything but in modern society, people are terrified and paranoid about everything. The news are always negative and often talk about violent crimes. Europe is very multicultural now with people from all over the world. Before I woke up, in a Buddhist sense, I used to blame the system and the media for everything and always thought of myself as a good person doing a lot of good deeds and always treating everyone with respect. One day, after a 2 month long water fast, I realized I had become severely disabled (multiple sclerosis). I live in Cambodia, everybody helped me here, thank God. While I was desperate and asking God why I have to go through this, I gradually understood that I was peaceful and loving from the outside but inside, I was carrying so much pain and anger. I had read Buddha's Dhammapada a few years prior to the disease but I did not get it then, I get it now. We have to always let go of everything and never carry anything in your heart, forgive, forget and let go. Now that I know the truth, everything is getting better but every day I must make sure I don't make the same mistakes again, no matter what people do, let them go! God and Buddha bless you all! 🙏🌞🤗💖😇

[@RiversideHomestead]

I really admire you for your mind and your philosophy! Half of what we earn is for taxes. We can't keep track with what they are doing with our money. They reign and we pay them. This is a oligarchy, not a democracy. Half of our lifes we spend for strangers, for things they decide for us. We pay money for strangers they are not able or don't like to make their own living, but we don't have the time to be with our elders, our old parents. We pay others to nurse them. This system is not good for people, for familys. Citys are really bad for mental health. I quit my job, left my homeland and the big city and went to a rural area and started to become self-sufficient. We are 3 people who knew whats coming (except the Trojan horse for a regime change called pandemic). A worldwide economic agony is coming, because our monetary system reached after 80 years the end of it's lifespan - like allways. They try to stay in power through taking our human rights from us. You can not live free, if you are not independent from all the glory of modern life which is not what we thought. When you're not independet you must give the power to the elites. They decide how your life will be, they decide what medicine you must take. Who controls the money, controls the world. Who controls the food, controls humanity. I'm happy that I researched and I found disturbing things about the world we're living in. This gave me the strength to change my life in the right time.

One of the answer to "who" are we working for: people are working to gain "fame", "status", and "luxury". All of these need "money" or money is a big part of it. So, basically, people now don't value "family" or "healthy", they value "fame, status, and luxury". Things that are superficial and loveless. It's sad. I'm just glad that I woke up and walked away from the "system"! Never ever again will I or my children or grandchildren be a slave anymore! Yeah!
