When do we feel rich?




Some people say that they feel rich when they can live in a big house, have a great car, but for others there is more important some non-material wealth. It consists of what you cannot buy for money and that makes them more expensive and valuable. For different people they can be different. What makes people happy and sustained, has various levels. You can feel rich when you feel something that brings more positiveness then usually.
You can get really excited from getting a new, cool car or from being given some handmade decor. The first one will show how much money someone has invested to get that thing, but another will show how much other kind of values he has invested there as well as his own work that is priceless. You can see how kids get happy from seeing somebody blowing bubbles or doing some other simple happenings for their joy. After some time you will catch yourself thinking how hard is to feel that kind of joy about simple things. Most likely kids felt rich at their simple moments, because they did not know the value of money. Everything in their little world had different measurements.
It does not matter how much money in wallet you have. You can still feel much poorer then some kid. If there is no spark in your life and people, who sacrifice something for you like their time to give new memories, you will never feel fully rich. You will feel much richer if you will give some money to the people, who really need it or even just give anything you have – old clothes that you have overgrown or simply will not wear anymore. When you will see that special thankfulness from others even if they just say such a simple word combination ''Thank you!''. You will know that you have done something really meaningful.
There are moments in life that you cannot buy for any kind of money as well as seeing others happy that you cannot really buy for money. Of course, people will feel happy seeing a red Ferrari in front of them, but it will never be as valuable joy as it does not touch a people’s heart that much. If you will feel after getting this car like life is worth living, there should be over-thought what true values in life are. It is an illusion that from material things you will feel truly rich and powerful. You will never get the ability to buy some special moments no matter how much you will be ready to pay, but in your mind you will desperately want to go back to them. Material goods you can copy and most of them are not unique and it is possible to find them much easier. Deeper goods are not found that easy. Mostly they found you and you cannot even explain how much they inspire and make you feel much better. Money can actually make you poor if there is no good content.

On day, a rich dad took his son on a trip; he wanted to show him how poor people live.They spent time on a farm of a poor family.  On the way home, dad asked, “Did you see how poor they are? What did you learn?”Son said, “We have one dog, they have four dogs.”“We have a pool, they have rivers.”“We have lanterns at night, they have stars”“We buy our organic food, they grow theirs.”“We have walls from our expensive houses to protect us, they have friends.”“We have nice cars to drive and show others, they have freedom of time with their love ones.”“We have latest tech gadgets; they have real touch & love.”The son said, “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.”

The Taste of Childhood

Image
For me personally, the most nostalgic time was when my childhood memories were formed. It was from the early to late 90’s. The previous century had a special taste, which was for children mainly based on different sweets which were hard to resist. Sweets are often a nostalgic piece of memory and although you can’t get back to the time that’s already passed, you can reminisce by treating yourself to a piece of candy or sharing it with other people who might be interested in it. It’s also easy to compare what’s available on the market nowadays as opposed to what was available when I was a child. Despite the fact that Latvia got its independence from USSR in 1991, things that were available on the market were mainly made in Russia or by Russian recipe. It took a couple of years until more and more sweets came from the West. A similar situation was also present in Slovenia, which got its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 and it took years from that point for sweets from other parts ...

Dress Code and Attire in Slovenia

Image
When you live in a foreign country, it’s only natural to pay attention to how people look (the way they carry themselves, how they dress, etc.), so in this article I will discuss the dress code(s) and attire in Slovenia. Slovenians are similar to other Europeans in how they dress. A lot of people read press which spreads the western beauty and fashion standards - women like Vogue, Glamour, People, Life & Style, Cosmopolitan and men usually opt for FHM, GQ, Men’s Fitness . The Western influence is present in markets, stores as well as in other places where clothes are sold. Besides the influence from the West, also the climate, history and the activities people do have impacted the way Slovenians dress. Slovenia is located in the Central Europe, where the climate is quite warm. The Alps and the Adriatic Sea play a big role in setting the climate, which differs from region to region. At the seaside, there is the sub-Mediterranean climate, and there is the Alpine climate in the ...

In Memoriam: Uroš Mozetič

Image
Uroš Mozetič: Ko sem prepeval vstopne molitve Na koncu časov, na podaljšku sence senc, ko ne bomo govorili več o smrti, ne da bi premišljali o življenju, kdo bo sploh še pesnik? Razširjeno metaforo bo pogoltnil živi pesek bolečine. Prihajala si, komaj sem te videl: hodila si med kapljami dežja. Govorila si kot ta, ki objokuje smrt usode. Ko bi ljubil ti nebo tako, kot sem jaz ljubila dež, bi bil še zmeraj najin prostor brez spola in števila, ki se prazni? Tebe, to že vem, vznemirja skupni vrt, vklesan v štiri vrste kamnov. Namakajo ga štiri vode. (Kot veličastva očakov na dolgem oblačilu, kjer bo nekoč počival svet.) Na koncu časov. Ne boš se sprehajal po njem, če ne prešteješ zrn peska in pesek ure se v tebi ne ustavi. Globino sebe boš izmeril skozi štiri vode. Spočiješ se na štirih kamnih. In ko boš rekel: Vzemi to telo in mi ga vrni, ko ga bom resnično vreden, bom prinesla prvo vedro. Noč za nočjo, trikrat zapored, žalosten boš, ker boš izgubljal žalost. Žarek tème ti bo osušil ...
