I've gotten a little busy with life out here. Its an incredibly easy place to get busy and forget a few things. In the Philippines life was a little less complicated by having extra discretional time to live life. While that sounds all pathetic for them, it wasn't. They have hard lives, just like we do, surrounded by lack of money. Many of them aren't television watchers, so they don't get sold on some life they shouldn't be striving to live in the first place like Americans are. In our view, without much thought or reflection on our American lives, they appear as poor. Same as the Marshallese.
They just love each other. Family or second family, or not, they love and share and take care of each other. TV or not, they get together and share, and laugh. Mostly they are just together, and enjoy each other.
I've got so much to learn from them. We all do.
I can now say I've been in many places. I now feel mostly "well traveled". Of course that's relative.
The point to that last sentence is that....well.....civilization .......has a long way to go
