Updates (November 9, 2024)
I guess you had to go through all the social interactions in life before you find this …
After school and finally “living on my own”, I dealt with all the problems trying to figure out life.
You realize possibly the best way to live is to socialize and network with people who have something going on. That means talking to people who are smarter and nicer than you. That is all there is to life. Especially in Canada.
…
I should take the time to relax a little knowing what I know.
Life is OK in Canada.
I am pretty happy so far.
…
When you get to a point in life where it is just growing and learning, then you have made it. You are solid.
Previously, I was living just doing whatever trying to figure all life in all sorts of ways. Now it is just growth at my experiences and old age.
The childish and young adult interactions of people cutting people down and making fun of everything at all different angles is gone.
That is why I hate going out in public these days. These days people make fun of everything: bad is good, good is bad where everything is idling. That will make you go mad if you just live that way for long term at old age.
When you past that period in life then you can just live independently like a old mature man mostly alone and happy.
Growing past this required a lot of experiences and learning my ‘Vietnamese culture’ to understand and fill that hole in my head.
…
What I know about Vietnamese culture is small. I am the generation that did not know much because I was born in Canada.
Sometimes you meet people who think they know more about you than you do. They make their assumptions and project them as true.
That is why you are supposed to grow up doing things that have immense personal value to you regardless of whatever people say out in the world. You are supposed to learn from the good people of your culture and then expand more further until you get creative and practiced a lot reaching the limits and to the unlimited.
That way if their is racism or bad projections people put on you, you can thwart it away and teach them a lesson. You are old and experienced and are able to pass the judgmental treatment when you are young.
Racism is boxed in with general stereotypes. I am old now. You grow out of the general, general stereotypes. I look like a old man now. So of course there will be racism as an old Asian man but you are an old man. But then there is not the general stereotypes too.
You are only supposed to work with people who support you and aid you in your development. Especially at old age like me.
You are supposed to show people how to behave good and develop. At least show them your way and your perspective and you can learn from them.
We are human and can see past the general paint.
…
Being born and living in Canada, the bad discomfort is when you are generally working is how negative things are overall.
People complain about their routine life working. Some wish they did not start a family early and wished they went to school.
Some dread working 2 – 3 jobs to support their new family and wished they had the supports and opportunities to do their dream career back then when they were in school.
That is all young adulthood complaints.
No one really helps no one.
But usually if you have a hobby or passion, you will find others who share that passion so you can work together.
Then everything opens up from there.
You should be able to do what you want here in Canada at the end.
…
You are supposed to live a good life here in Canada.
Your goal should be to live a good educated abundant life here in Canada.
You have to in all your power to live good.
Mainly educated and busy bodied.
