The semi-nomadic life of the Mokens | SLICE

[@erikc8284]

"There's no land, no boat, you live in another world" The grandma statements left a profound impact on me, I can totally recall those exact emotions back when I lived at the South coast of Spain and swam at virgin beaches as a child. I would dive into the water, a marvellous, mysterious and peaceful world where time seemed to stop and deep tranquility would make you wish you would live forever in that state.

[@mohammedajaj40]

Nice buddy 😊

[@HeyitsJtotheA]

This man is truly living his best life. Love how proud he is of his family’s boat and how he wants to preserve their traditions. Living in the moment, alongside nature. Mass respect.

[@cobbs]

I live in a big city, with a mortgage, car payments, and countless other debts. I sit in an office 8 hours a day and in traffic for another 3, sometimes 4. I know for a fact these people are living better lives than the one I have. They really seem to appreciate what they have as well. I'm happy for them.

[@michaelsiengo1]

Fuck that I would quit

[@peaceleader7315]

That is because we adopted a capitalistic economic system that placed every human needs and necessity on the hands of profiteering motive or profits driven society.. and yeah, you need to exist for that purpose.. hmmmm .. but your dreams of freedom are happening.. With artificial intelligence, repetitive machines and robotic technologies are being free from capitalistic economic systems and capitalist personnel ambitions.. Our communism economic system is now being conducted gradually .. hmmmm.. when the means of production are no longer on the hands of control for profits but on the hands of the population of the world 🌎 itself .

I am from Thailand...and appreciate that the Western reporter is actually trying to learn + experience first hand the local wisdom....actually different parts of Thailand have their local customs and wisdom about how to live sustainably...but when I was growing up...we Thais were bombarded by Westernization campaign...that often eclipsed ancient wisdom passed down from older generation....farmers who used buffaloes were pressured+lured to switch to tractors run by oil, herbal medicine pushed out by chemical drugs...etc. Now I realize that a country like mine, which for a long time referred to as backward or at best as Developing Nation...does indeed has many hidden gems... even our tradition of respect to elderly and gentle way we greet+treat+relate to one another...should be shared to the world...otherwise unchecked capitalism and globalist agenda could/might end up destroying the world while trying to control+exploit+colonize it !

Salut dan kagum melihat kegigihan dan keberanian keluarga ini dalam mengarungi kehidupan dunia ini. Tetapi kenapa masih banyak manusia yang sudah memiliki harta benda yang banyak, karena kerakusannya masih tega mengambil hak orang lain untuk diberikannya kepada anggota keluarganya sendiri dan atau untuk berfoya-foya serta bersenang-senang. Lihatlah betapa sederhananya kehidupan keluarga mereka, mereka hanya mengambil sebatas dengan kebutuhannya. Namun belum tentu mereka tidak bahagia walaupun hanya hidup dengan cara semi nomaden dengan perahu sederhana diatas lautan yang sangat penuh dengan resiko, bahkan sewaktu-waktu dapat mengancam nyawa mereka. Mudah mudahan Tuhan memberikan rezeki yang berkecukupan dan keselamatan kepada keluarga besar Saudara kita ini serta diberikan kesehatan agar tetap mampu mengarungi kehidupannya. Amiiiiin... Terimakasih kepada Saudaraku yang membuat video ini. Dengan melihat video ini saya jadi semaki sadar betapa senangnya sebenarnya hidupku ini, kenapa masih banyak manusia yang masih suka mengeluh kepada Tuhan karena tidak diberikan kekayaan materi yang berlimpah, padahal dia masih diberikan Tuhan anggota tubuh yang lengkap. Berusahalah, berjuang dan pantang menyerah mengarungi kehidupan ini, asalkan itu tidak menyalahi peraturan yang ada. Salam dari Indonesia....
