Eastern Europeans are extremely interesting people. I have found that their hard science is a lot better on average then people from North America and Western Europe. Their world view, correct or incorrect, is a bit different from anything that this author has experienced in North America and in my other travels. Perhaps, we can learn something in their simple cravings for basic necessities. This is where my personal dilemma with the history that influences this mindset begins.
I do not blame the people of the region because they are surviving in their own manner, and it usually works for them. I, however, just cannot grasp happiness in the world without the opportunity to better one’s self through work. Eastern Europeans are not lazy, but they have not grasped the understanding that money follows those who work to get it. With that said, I have often found that we are overworked in North America, especially in comparison to other Western countries.
What can we learn from history on this matter? Historically, North America and Western Europe have lost millions of lives in war. In comparison, however, Eastern Europe has, not only, lost millions of lives to war, but it has surrendered millions of lives to famine. I respect Eastern European’s for their perseverance throughout history. I just cannot understand this idleness and support of ideologies that lead to widespread starvation resulting death. Unfortunately, one cannot blame the governments of the region, but the people of Eastern Europe who empower and support these governments that have a historic track record for sacrificing human lives for the benefit of a few under the guise of providing for the masses.
Is North America perfect? We are not without problems, too. Happiness cannot be found in something material. It, however, does function as a nice reward for one’s work. It is impossible to live without necessities, which, in the modern world, are becoming increasingly more expensive and complex. Without material and genetic variation in a populace, there confusion and rebirth. One needs material items to exploit the freedom of self expression, and one needs the ability to buy material items as a motivation to go to work and work well. Although we cannot find true happiness material items, it does help to end idleness.
