Its All About the Perspective

A bit more than a week ago, I have published a vlog about the quality of living before and now and got a great number of awesome comments to it... Most of them were about the perspective... as we can't compare the quality of living, as it is different in different parts of the world, and not just in different moments in the past...

Around the same time, I had an interesting conversation with my "offline" friend about an idea of buying a home somewhere in Africa... I think it was Nicaragua, but not sure 100%... Anyways, she raised some concerns about the "safety" in that country, and that made me think about how we very often have a wrong look at some other countries... It's interesting that right "our" country is the best in the world, the safest, the best quality of living, etc...

And not just that, very often judging others by our opinion formed by watching TV news, which is probably the worst possible source of information that anyone can find... lol... Combine that with misinterpretation, which is already the part of news sometimes, and you have a look at the "rest of the world" like savage people with stick hunting lions...

As I'm trying to be open to all the possible ideas and dialogues, I got an idea to use the same "weapon" on my friend, just so see the reaction...

Thank you for your valuable time,
