Grass is not always greener elsewhere
There is a sentence in German saying: "The grass is always greener on the other side". You may assume that it is better somewhere else, without really knowing it. Back then, in 2008, i participated in a The American Dream lottery, and i got the chance for a Greencard. But me without knowing anyone there, and me being someone with no good English, while scared about the world, i have not pursued it further. Instead, i got back to basics, and learned some origami.
I think this did something to me, with all the folds, combined to a real thing. Now, seeing the world slowing down and speeding up again, i get to see that this better place does not exist, not at this moment in time. Most suffering on Earth is artificially created, to make profit, or to enable progress. And the only thing i can change is me, accepting that i don't need much, although sometimes hungry. I'm alive, and there are still things to do in the long run.
