might have spent a little too much time touching glass, and wow, so many new changes in the LN world, I am amazed!!
It would not be easy to retrieve the money from the funds it has been invested in, especially if managed by the government instead of a private agency.
correct!
A friend recently looked up his pension and was told that the money in the account hasn't moved for many years. We are going to confiscate it.
I can't imagine when more people wake up to this, the money they think they have in the banks...
Learned something really interesting
Most peopleβs reaction or behaviors is a reflection of how they were treated in the past.
Sharing how I accidentally ditched coffee
I used to be one of those people who needed a cup of coffee every day, but recently I noticed I hadn't had coffee for more than three weeks, and I don't crave for it anymore.I only drink hot tea these days; I think the main reason was that I didn't have milk at home, and I didn't want to go all the way to buy fresh milk, so I drank tea instead.
The takeaway is to make it so hard to do the thing you want to change that you replace it with a better habit and make it easier.

Sometimes I feel like some people are there to guide or help you if you're open to experience. It's not the first time I've met someone in a new place who helped so much.
It's sad, most of them are doing something they hate, pretending to live the life, yet most are so lonely and disconnected from others.
Did you watch the videos showing someone calling many Churches and Mosques for help with her 2-month-old hungry baby?
But why need to act like a cold fish? Someone else was only trying to help and be kind. I guess most people are just used to being alone and to being told you are on your own, solve your own problem!
But in the culture where I'm used to, you offer a helping hand whenever you can, and you would be helped when you need.
Is it normal to reject help from others?
I was getting into a shop yesterday with a friend, and it seemed some tourists were having trouble with the payment. My friend wanted to help, but the person pretended he understood the problem with his card and then left. I also wanted to help, but I didn't like his attitude, so I didn't say anything at the end.
I know city people usually put up their guard to protect themselves, but maybe they miss out on a lot if they're totally closed off to kindness.
For example, I recently met someone on the airplane, and the person who sat next to me invited me for coffee after some talk. I was a bit hesitant at first, but then I kept asking him different questions to get a sense of this person. It turned out really interesting! since he is from a place I have zero idea about. We went to dinner at the end, and he helped me so much while I was there. It's a wonderful feeling to meet a new friend in a completely new place.
I'm aware of the dangers out there, but it's quite sad if everyone is putting up walls to each other.
Thanks for sharing the other side of the perspective. π
but I'm not against all Americans, I simply don't like the idea that some people think they are above others, yet they are the ignorant ones.
The other white people also usually speak one language, perhaps less arrogant, but I really don't understand the mindset that expects everyone to speak English - the world is so big, not to mention that English wasn't even a thing before.
So I think the real question should be: why don't these people from another tribe respect my tribe? I don't have a solution though, except not to spend too much time on these particular individuals and instead seek out those that do respect you.
I am the outsider in this case - I don't belong to either. I speak both languages, and I feel more comfortable with the humble ones; that's why I don't understand those who come to visit yet act like that.
