What culture - in your opinion - is the most enjoyable to live in?

2345 sats \ 28 comments \ @Fabs 24 Jan culture

With "culture" I'm referring to the way of live, attitude and behaviour of people of that specific country.

I'm not sure if the title is correct in that case, but that's as far as my English gets me for now. 😶‍🌫️

in my opinion, you create your own environment, vibes, attraction.... so there is no best place..

you can live in one of the "best" place but if you re mesirable you won t notice it... and you can live in one of the "worst " place but if you re happy nothing will hurt you... (in africa, many people are living in misery but on their face you see smile/hapiness/share...)

"you're a product of your surroundings" comes to mind.

I think we can agree that countries with a more "laid-back" approach to... Life... Can positively influence one's personal situation

i think there is a quote about this… something like “wherever you go, that’s where you are”

I think living a life in which you put yourself in difficult situations, to keep growing.

Comfort makes people weak.

Discomfort is great for growth.

Think about building muscles, you need to put them under stress, and gradually they become larger and larger while you continually push the limits of what you can lift.

Same with life. You hit your maximum of what you can achieve, then try a bit more.

Stoicism encapsulates some of these concepts.

That's right, but I like my comfort zone; it's warm here and we have cookies... Oh those cookies... You should pay us a visit!

We're open year-round.

Yeah, comfort makes you lose your edge.

Over time you become a worse version of what you used to be.

It's a personal choice, but I think it's great to experience discomfort from time to time.

What's discomfort to you?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @nullama 25 Jan

Not eating anything for a couple of days.

Not wearing a jacket when you go out into a cold night.

Live in a smaller place that you can afford.

Not putting the air con when the hot is melting you.

Taking a cold shower in a freezing morning.

Etc.

Basically, training your body and mind for bad situations, so that when you have to face those situations in the future you are well prepared for it.

In the end this makes you free, because there is nothing that you fear since you've trained for every discomfort you could face.

Albeit it a discomfort you face for a (very) short time.

Humans are master of adaptation; if the day of discomfort comes, I'll adapt or die.

Until then I'll stay in my cozy comfort zone, most of the time, then.

The increasingly rare one where people don't start trying to drag you into their culture.

Such as?

The further North you go in the US, the less people care what you individually think at home as a general rule. The further south you go, the more "hospitality" suddenly tries to run your life.

The world is a big place.

Just considering the US makes you lose a huge amount of different ways of life.

Any, no culture is better than others. Every culture has their own flaws or greatness. But it's up to you to make the best of it. Nothing stops you from integrating your own culture habits into another.

What's the greatness of black african culture? Legit question.

What's great for may not be great for you, but in general it comes down to hospitality, hard work, (bio) diversity in nature, food, language, people,..

What makes Black African, Indian and Muslim culture great? It's a valid question, and honestly, I'm having a hard time thinking of any examples, although I might be biased.

The one that suites you best. Build your own culture and lifestyle and values one day at a time!

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @398ja 25 Jan

I think your own culture, ideally. This is the one you'll be the most comfortable with. Don't over idealise other cultures, it suits them, but will never fulfill you. Embrace your own culture as much as possible.
