Also, Romanian government is so bad at demanding our own rights or when it comes to nogociating for our own future, we’re still not in Schengen (fully)…

SMH, Austria still views România as the land of opportunity, cheap stuff, corrupt politicians, great deals, why not take all the resources lol…

I mean, their leaders are against Romania being in Schengen, even if it fulfills all requirements, and our leaders are incompetent and corrupt.

Only on the shop tho, no gumroad.

PayPal doesn’t work here.

It’s the only payment option. :man_shrugging:t2:

It’s actually combination of destroyed healthcare system (early in nineties) in post-Soviet countries and predatory capitalism there (think one close to cartoonishly evil capitalism representation).

On the flipside, why would I identify with the need to have all these fields?

The basics count the most … all of this stuff is just extra.

If I am meant to have it, it will become available to me.

Funny way to phrase it.

I do think it hammers home the point very well.

An old hag, one of my mom’s friends just “made an investment” (lost money, but she refuses to understand) (she was promised double the amount invested in a week :joy::joy:) and me, being a helpful soul, I told her that she has 0 amount currently. :joy:

Next thing, she actually cursed me lol, OK…

Lol, she wants to mess with someone Waaay stronger than her (me), so be it lol…

I won’t curse her, but maybe that energy she sent towards me, will find it’s way back lol.

Anyway.

This is the answer:

Because Spending is Life, Spending is Joy, for You or for Others.

A nice Vacation, some expensive stuff, exquisite experiences, money can buy you A LOT of stuff,…, more fields, helping others if you want, etc.

Still your ego doing the thinking.

Well, it’s mainly about not looking at the world from the lenses of how you experience it … but rather experiencing it, as it is.

Any trail of thought that starts with “need” or “want” is usually egoic.

The elevator scene isn’t about destroying the ego, it’s about controlling it … being able to program it … so that when you do slip in awareness, you do more of the “right” things, than the “wrong” things … in essence, reducing self-sabotage and lack of focus.

There is another scene from that movie that says:

“The more power you have in Gold’s world, the less power you have in the real world”.

Our egos define “freedom” based on how they’re programmed … it can mean many things …

Ab-original tribes view us all as slaves, and they believe they’re the freest of all.
