For me personally, culture and peoples attitude matters a lot when considering where one would like to live.I'd rather live in a 2nd world country, surrounded by optimistic,selfless, cheerful people in the culture that i like than in the rich country surrounded by cold, arrogant, entitled, elitist snoobs |
In case you didn't know; we're in the midst of the biggest financial crisis since the late 20's/early 30's in the West.
Its as I thought though, you consider me and my peers cold, arrogant, entitled, messed up, snobbish and elitist because we live where we live and are who we are. You think I have no insight in the living conditions and woes of people across the globe? I have worked with refugees from all over the world, most being escapees from war, some being persecuted for having the wrong religious belief or political standpoint, all of them scared and traumatized as well as depressed. A couple of them killed themselves (one woman, which I helped move to the nearest city, setting up a new life for herself and her teenage children jumped out of a window on the fifth floor the first day in the city leaving us two more orphans to care for) and many of them moved me to tears many a time with their tales and courage.
I work with high security psychiatric patients with a cross between drug addiction and substance abuse and psychosis that come from the most grim fates I know of around here and I work with troubled youth in elementary school, trying to give them some confidence and understanding, I come from a family with no education, no money and it has been tormented by a slew of personal tragedies, me and my sister basically raised ourselves for lack of proper parents. I was also beaten by my classmates for many years because of my family's standing in the community and the principal of my high school sabotaged my entire education out of spite and malice.
I also work in the nightlife, I am surrounded by people from all over, Phillipines, Latvia, Poland, Chile, Venezuela, Spain, Germany and other countries and I live with a Serbian man and his girlfriend, I am myself of Gypsy heritage and my bloodline has long suffered in many of those optimistic and selfless cultures I suspect you're referring to (the same cultures have also parttaken in genocide, plundering and terrorism and are certainly no more benign than the West).
I think what I'm trying to say is; you don't know a thing about me or (evidently) the West and probably imagine everyone as millionare assholes with luxury cars, playboy bunny girlfriends, university degress sticking out their ass, beef for dinner daily and the prime jobs of their dreams. You generalize like a true champion.
Get off you fucking horse, man. To put it bluntly.
