ABOUT ME

Things are very bad in Europe (and the rest of the West), so I'm leaving it.
May God help me succeed in this.

It has entered the phase of decline for quite a while. This decline acceleretared before 2020, accelerated again in 2020, and I believe it is just accelerating again (a BIG economic CRISIS that finally can not be postponed again is impending).

There is no real market or competition:
It's a rigged game where money attracts money without needing skill. So poverty also attracts poverty.

Morals have gone out of the window:
Without a religious/spiritual support, people have started to get too deep into superficial Materialism, which is hurting themselves more than doing good, without them knowing.

All the government and the compliant mass media do is lie (literally saying 100% the opposite of the truth, almost all the time), portraying the situation as like they have everything under control and there is nothing to worry about, as long as they remain in power - using scare tactics to make people fearful, and thus suggest to that they should keep voting for them.

///////

Given all this, my current developments are that I quit my previous corporate job at the end of April and am on a travelling adventure.

Also, I do not hate Jews based purely on race, but I think it's clear that some Jews (Zionist extremists) currently pose perhaps the biggest threat to humanity, for tsome of the most evil and powerful tyrants are such Zionist extremists, which includes non-Jews.

They must and will be stopped.

Thank you if you made it all the way to here.

Lastly, I would like to finish by highlighting that I'm a POSITIVE and OPTIMISTIC person.
The fact that I mentioned "problems" or less sweet-sounding things, is just because I firmly believe its best to accept and bravely face reality than ignoring it, making excuses, lie to ourselves with things such as:
"the problems are not there/it's all good/there's nothing I can do anyway, so why bother?" Etc.

Reality is reality, so at some point it has to be dealt with, or am I wrong? If I'm right, then why delay?
That only increases the original problems like a snowball, that if not stopped, will grow into an avalanche. Then it is truly deadly.

Thank God/Alhamdulilah, I believe in something which in my opinion is VERY IMPORTANT to ALWAYS keep in mind: ALL PROBLEMS COME WITH SOLUTIONS.

-------
P.S - With all this finally said, if you think you have the patience or personality to bear with, I'd love to be your guest. In fact I will be eternally grateful for the kind opportunity 🙏❤️

I don't care about very fancy conditions. I value more meeting good people with whom I can have a genuine interaction, particularly as I firmly believe that life can be enjoyed in simple things.

Best regards,
Rafael

Some very simple things:
A) The "Golden Rule" - Don't do to others what I wouldn't like to be done to me.
B) Don't overcomplicate things.

If the world didn't have art and colour (including women 🌺) it wouldn't be worth living.
