Hi Peer,
I totally agree. It's similar in the rural parts of Brazil, where the people live on 'next to nothing'. When the great economic meltdown really kicks in, what will they lose? Nothing. We can learn a lot by watching and copying these people.
On the other side of the coin, and this will highlight what I was saying earlier about our differences and realities, I saw a post on survival equipment. One of the items was a portable toilet! Figure that one out.
So we can see that we are all different with different needs and ideas.
Best regards,
Steve

When that greed disappeares (for instance by a worldwide disaster) the africans are most likely better prepared for the living outdoors and having nothing but still surviving than we.
With this I don't mean to say we are not responsible for their poverty now because we are. |
