Step aside, there are polygamists who should get an award for wasteful production. King Lukengo of a tribe in the Congo has 100's of wives and 200-300 kids. I think Congo might be the poorest country in the world, too.

Sometimes i am thinking why i need to help the poor, ther are so many poor in this world, i cant help all of them. And i think the answer is 'happiness' . When you have done that, at least we prove that there is still love and hope in this world. If our life is like firework, i hope i can produce the biggest spark like Vik. He did it and salute to Vik

Well, it's important to not forget that the value of who you are isn't measured by your profession, your car, or the things you own. We place a high value on those things, so it's easy to not feel good about yourself if you don't own the latest and greatest of everything, but it's a remarkably unfulfilling way to live. It's correct, no two people are exactly the same, so we are definitely not all equal, but that doesn't then make somebody worthless for a specific set of differences.

Because I'm stupid, broken, have mental health problems and nobody respects or wants to be with me. So why do I supposedly deserve life and a car, job, possessions etc? I just take it while I'm alive and plod along until I can't any more. We pretend that we're all equal, when we're not, and people pick and choose when to be 'humane'.
