For those of you who know me, you guys know that I'm Brazilian and that I'm super duper patriotic and that I love my country more than everything in the entire universe. For those of you who don't know me, I'm somebody who is Brazilian and super duper patriotic and who loves her country more than everything in the entire universe. Not only her country, but her city as well. I mean, there's a reason why her city is considered one of the 7 wonders in the world. Just saying ;)
So, I just saw this documentary that my step-dad recorded about how people move in different parts of Brazil and how they work and stuff, and I'm honestly so flipping (yeah.. I like to create words. I know. I'm weird) proud of being part of a country that no matter how fucking violent it can be, is one of the happiest countries in the world, filled with working people that are happy all the time. See, the thing about us, Brazilians, is that we don't need to have all the money in the world to be happy. No. All we need is to make enough so we can live comfortably, and to drink our sacred beer every friday and saturday.
I've been living in the U.S for almost 4 years, and I still think that almost every single person in this country is greedy and ungrateful to all the amazing opportunites that they have. Americans have, literally, everything; yet, they can never be satisfied. They always need more, more, more, and more. They are greedy, superficial, and a bunch of hypocrites. They are used to always having everything that they always wanted, and because of that, they don't appreciate all the good things that life has to offer.
The truth is that the American people don't know how to enjoy life. Money won't always be there, so what do you do when you have nothing? You cry? You get yourself in debt, because you can't control yourself? NO. You work even harder, and you make people wonder why the f*ck you are still smiling. You learn to love and be grateful to everything that you have in the moment, because in the future, all those material things might be gone, and you might end up with nothing.
I think it's about time that the "#1 country in the world" learn a thing or two from third world /developing coutries.
