Recognize your priviledge!!!

[niko123]

I just finished watching some documentaries on Polish Hooligans. Like Leo's police cam videos lol. Polish and eastern Europe realities are harsh, there is so much violence, conformism, drugs, "nihilism" and sick mentality. You can't comprehend it unless you are from here and notice such things.
I come from eastern Europe. This is a fucking priviledge on a global scale. 

But please, realize and live this, if you are in western Europe you are literally in paradise. Like the Netherlands or Norway. I know that people on this forum have heard it a 1000 times, but it's just that true. 

I spent 2 months working in the Netherlands. When I came back it was like waking up from a dream. You cannot fathom how different life is in the east. You would be in shock about the things that pass here as normal. 

Still, I am super-priviledged. But if I am super, westeners are supererer.

It is why a solid gratitude practice should be a core ethos.

When you are younger this privilege is a lot more unconscious - you simply are not aware of how much you have access to with simple vitality, health and low obligations / responsibility.

As you get older, energy declines, health fades. Those around you begin to die. You suffer in a way that is incomprehensible when young...

Just the fact I woke up this morning, warm in bed. Dog curled around my feet. All is well. Sun is rising. That is the BEST feeling. THAT is all I desire. Beauty of reality and peace
