Did you see the pictures from China ? it's their decision : work or die. Work - not for the basics, but for junk. For stuff that will be bought and will be thrown away in 6 months :

The Story of Stuff

I am from Romania. Do you know what I saw tonight ? 2 humans, in front of a shaworma place. A place where you get this food called shaworma. One was sitting down near a wall, trembling - it was cold. The other was near a pole, looking at the people buying. He was small, and thin. You could see the bones of his cheeks. They were still there 1 hour later - when I returned searching for them. I gave them some money.

WTF. Is there not enough food ? Of course there isn't . In this capitalist hell. That replaced the communist hell. Each man for himself. Eat, eat , gather more and more. When you die you will die rich. Unlike other "losers" who die poor. Hahaha.

Crazy Horse, Tashunkewitko of the western Sioux, was born about 1845. Killed at Fort Robinson, Nebraska in 1877, he lived barely 33 years.

As a boy, Crazy Horse seldom saw white men. Sioux parents took pride in teaching their sons and daughters according to tribal customs. Often giving food to the needy, they exemplified self-denial for the general good. They believed in generosity, courage, and self-denial, not a life based upon commerce and gain.

One winter when Crazy Horse was only five, the tribe was short of food. His father, a tireless hunter, finally brought in two antelope. The little boy rode his pony through the camp, telling the old folks to come for meat, without first asking his parents. Later when Crazy Horse asked for food, his mother said, "You must be brave and live up to your generous reputation."

It was customary for young men to spend much time in prayer and solitude, fasting in the wilderness --typical of Sioux spiritual life which has since been lost in the contact with a material civilization.
