Life in an „underdeveloped“ country has very different qualities to life in a “developed” country. We think we can judge about its values without ever experiencing the other side, but that is impossible. Life in an “underdeveloped” country is less regulated, much more natural, more human and real than in an “developed” country. And also it is a way of life that can exist for all people, without destroying our planet, and without the necessity of an excluded majority of people who produce the prosperity of the few rich.

Within Life of the “underdeveloped” countries (and I mean without the few rich in the cities) everything makes sense, without the need to be convinced about this beforehand through education. Most of people there never went to school, but still have a lot of practical knowledge and skills, and they live for life, family and friends for each other, not for money. Life there is something very beautiful through its simplicity, and nobody thinks he would be more important than the others around him. This way people share all they have with each other, without thinking that they would not have enough for themselves, because the value of life comes through being together.

In “developed” countries people think to know everything better. We think this, because we got a very narrow thinking through a certain education, which tells us that we have to live in prosperity to be happy, that we have to consume to identify ourselves, and that we have to despise life in “underdeveloped” countries, in the end we live only for money. Our life is based on having other countries where we exploit and utilize people, to guarantee our supernatural richness and consumption, because this richness and consumption is only possible for a minority, the ressources are not enough for limitless growth, and even then by this we are destroying our planet through this.

We have to stop demanding the livingstandard of “developed” countries, to be able to exist in the future and not end up in a fight or a war of everybody against everybody. This livingstandard we have makes us blind, or to robots (slaves) of money. We have to recognise how much more beautiful and real life is without these livingstandards, and without the fear of loosing it. The poor in “developed” countries don’t have this, because they are spoiled by the belief to exist only through consumption. But where ever the rich people and the misrepresentation of necessities does not exists, life becomes very beautiful in a natural and simple way, and there people are much less restricted in their actions, which are not regulated, people live like they feel, and their feeling is not false and corrupt, and not egoistic like with us.

For example in Papua even today many people are living in a culture where it is not about the survival of the individuum, but in their consciousness it is only important that the family (the village) survives. They do not have the self centered consciousness like we have it. They live in houses high up in the tops of the trees, and eat only what they find in the forest. If someone comes from another island to them (and even if he is from the same country), he will be very strange to them, they do not understands what he wants in their area, or why he is coming to them. If they do not find food for long time, then they decide which family member they are going to eat, and in bad times that could be 8 people within 3 months. We see this as cannibalism, but is isn't that for them. In the far future we will see even eating animals as cannibalism, but now we are not yet able to understand that.

Life or the way of life like it is in “underdeveloped” countries is our only possible future, not like it was in the past, but how it is in many or really most of all regions on our planet. People live from what is available locally, and that is mostly what oneself or ones neighbours are growing or producing. Technology does exist though for communication and transport, but it is owned only as much as necessary, not for status. And money is only enough around for direct living like Food and sleeping under a roof without more room than really necessary. And prices for all which is necessary to live are much much lower, because they are not driven unrealistically high by greedy rich people like in “developed” countries, so that it becomes even worthwhile to fly fruits around the world.

This unrealistic lifestyle is created through the claim (demand) that was created within us, and the quality of food does not become better through that (for the body), but only for the imagination. And through our demand we are poisoning the areas in which “underdeveloped” people live. We say we give them work and money, but we take from them more than what we give, and we destroy their livelihood (maybe to make them dependent from our aberration), their fields are poisoned and are drying up. Our livingstandard is destroying their life. If we would allow them to live in their way of life, then most problems in their society would not exist, like overpopulation and living in slums. Where ever we did not succeed with influencing people of “underdeveloped” countries, or make them dependant on us, these problems do not exist.

We, the “developed” countries are the problem of our planet, we should start to rethink this definition of development. Our definition of development is only richness in money and consumption, but not in humanity and authenticity. And very soon this definition will become the obviously wrong one through many catastrophes (which we create). It is not possible without renunciation, and if we give up, we will discover how much more valuable our life becomes, because then we are no longer living for money. If we do not renounce voluntarily, we will be responsible that our world disappears in chaos and war. Not only climate change (and poisoning the environment or destroying the forests) will create this desaster, but also the fight for ressources and cusumers, which on the other hand will destroy most ways of life on our planet.

In the end our way of life will not be able to continue, because it is the most unrealistic one of all. We have to renounce to create something beautiful on our planet, life in union together without war and endless suffering. We alone can do this, because it only fails because of our greed and ignorance. We have to give up our way of life.
