There Are No Poor Countries... .:. Walk & Talk Series

...there are only poor leaders... People who don't care about others, who don't care about nature, and in the end, don't care about their country at all... Usually, you can recognize them by hearing them talking about how they CARE, but the reality is the opposite...

I stumbled upon a YouTuber who was traveling to different "3rd world countries", walking down the streets, talking with ordinary people, sharing their way of living, and sharing the history of their countries... Speaking of the term "3rd world countries", who made that up? I mean, who is counting countries and who is the "1st world country"? Does that depend on the current "economic status", how old is the country, or something else? If you ask me, that's a stupid way to categorize countries... Anyway, the guy shared videos from Venezuela, Bangladesh, Mongolia, and probably some more, but I watched these 3 videos...

I have lived in a "3rd world country" that wasn't always "3rd", but unfortunately, while I was living there it was... The same goes for the countries that I watched on YT... They had their "golden days" when there was abundance and wealth, and I would dare to say that there is still, but it is "marketed" (power of propaganda) differently... for someone's benefit... The easiest way to accept poverty is to blame others... Sometimes that's not that far away from the truth, but there are always two sides to the story, and the truth is somewhere in the middle...

It's interesting that all these "big issues" on the country level, we can bring down to our, personal level... When these countries had "good days", everyone was spending, enjoying life (which isn't bad), but doing all that like there is no tomorrow... When things are going well, we don't think that it can go bad ever... The same happens the other way around... When we are living through hard times, it looks like the good days will never come... We are living to survive like there is no tomorrow... Isn't that ironic?

But, we can find someone to blame for that, aren't we? Nowadays, we are taught to spend more than we have, spend our tomorrow's earnings, and spend more than we can earn! It can work if we would not have a crisis(es), and if we would live in a dream... :)

It's time to take our destiny into our hands... We, finally have the tools to do that... Here on HIVE, we have tools for living in the present, but also, for saving for the future! So, why wouldn't we use that... One tool for living a present, and another tool for building OUR future... HIVE and HBD for living the present and HivePower to live the future!

Thank you for your time,
