I Wonder

I wonder if there are many people feeling they were born in the right country. I love my country, but many times in my life I thought I was born in the wrong place.

I don't agree with the way people meet (usually outside in cafeterias), our daily schedules (we get up，eat and go to bed too late), the high tolerance to noise, the way people prefer to improvise rather than plan...

I find my country is a nice place to live if you behave the way most people do, but otherwise you are likely to be not understood and respected.

@Fernie Political views are mutable, there are times we may not agree with those in power, but they do not last forever. My feeling of strangeness has more to do with habits and attitudes I have noticed since I was young, and that very strongly ingrained in our mindset.

@Cierzo What does all of that mean? The crystal clear fact, to people who are AWAKE... is that my country is being run by Hitler incarnate...an unhinged dangerous terrorist mental case.

@ZenKitzune If you at peace with yourself you are at peace with others

@St0ut not many are at peace with themselves or know how to be. It is something we should be teaching.

I do not like it here too - too much doing without thinking, too much obeying without questioning, too much pragmatism without room for principles or ideals. I find it stifling. And on top of that, I think this world is run too much by extroverts. It seems like there is a constant need to fill a place with noise or a time with activity. Quiet time seems like a 'dead' time which people are made to feel uncomfortable in. I hate it.

@novembermoon I agree 100% with what you say. Too much action, too less thinking about the reasons we act, it is a common disease going on everywhere.
