I’m scared of americans.
Most Americans walk around with tight little faces, sharp eyes, and angry gestures. They look like they want something. I don’t know what they want, and it frightens me. (Though not really, of course, because I don’t live in fear).
I feel like they want something that they will never have… like the donkey chasing after a carrot. For every step the donkey takes, the carrot is another step more distant. The thing is, the carrot is here now. In this moment. You don’t have to take a step to get it, because it is already here. Now.
I love Americans, because I love everyone, but they scare me. It’s hard for me to develop a close relationship with someone who is angry and emotional, and caught up in their ego controlled world. It’s toxic to me. I understand that their state is no better or worse than mine, but I’m allergic to it. I understand that there can not be enlightenment without illusion, but I no longer identify with the illusion.
In the meantime, I want to move to Canada.

Preaching to the choir!
I would almost consider a communist country to live in because then people don’t have to rely on religion to be happy, and money, material things, would not have as much value, people would be brought together through equality and love, ya know..
Okay so in the past, communist countries (which technically were socialist) kinda had a crash and burn experience, but, in theory, i think it would be ideal

Oh yes, those people didn’t care about religion, money or material things, because they have to care about their freedom. You know, I remember times, when we weren’t be allowed to travel abroad or even have our own opinion… many people have to die because of this f*** dictatorship, so, I really don’t think that would be so ideal like you do… Well, I don’t mean this badly, I’m just saying.
And sorry for my bad english, learning of western/capitalistic languages wasn’t advisable too…
