So there is this cleaning woman in my work that doesn`t know how to write. How to read she has learned from the bible when she was about 40 years old but she`s always so optimistic and has a really big heart. Once she told me that before she didn`t believe in god but then...she started to read the bible and it gave her strength to save a money for a house...to raise her children and gave them opportunity to study and learn stuff that she and her parents couldn`t afford.
It`s not even that her parents couldn`t afford it but her dad thought that education is not so important but the most important is to work and be able to have own house. Now...she told me that for her happiness and wealth means to have own car, house and that`s it. She can never understand me. She always asks me...what will I do later...I'm 24 and I should already have a husband, children and of course house and car and then I tell her that for me the happiness means different thing.... For me being wealth doesn't mean to have a car or house. For me wealth means to know the other languages and cultures... see different countries and landscapes, to discover, to see stars from different perspective. For me it means happiness. But I can not blame her for having different kind of view.... Thats her way of seeing the world and all of us are different. We were raised in different conditions and cultures and we need to respect decisions of other people.
So we all are different but as long as we are happy with our life.... we shouldn`t change the way we live :)
