Lasting peace and happiness can't be found in the outside world. And your "inside world" is everywhere you are. But yeah, looks like a verry peacefull place to live.

The Japanese live very simple but clean and not clutter….and it looks very peaceful no neighbor playing loud music…they are very respectful of others…👍👍👍

Really appreciate him for clearly stating the newspapers are propaganda. Not many people nowadays realize most of what their news sources report on or do articles or is propaganda

And here we are, in our offices. Watching Rupert on our high end MacBooks, running on cold electricity generated by massive power plants. I can hear in his voice the struggles he must have had in Singapore, the price to be alive which can be calculated. And still - has more peace and beauty in his heart than anyone I've met in these offices..

@@satoyama.rupert Nothing of a life? We have such funny perspectives of ourselves. I think a lot of us younger city folk feel swallowed up by consumerism and the idea of success/failure. You should smell a certain way, look a certain way, talk a certain way, and don't forget about how you express yourself on social media because everybody expects you to have one. Say the wrong thing and a mob comes after you with the rampant cancel culture. If you can't keep up then you're a "loser". You have escaped the heavy burden and watching eyes (besides this video of course) of the modern era. You have something many of us are too scared to try, but so desire. Those last words of "an open mind to losing everything" is very true, sadly most are too closed in.

@@geeker2866 good comment, and i'll add it takes decades of life experience (and beating) to wisen up and realize that how society wants you to live your life is not how you should live it, your life is yours and the earth isn't theirs either. You'll find that after you've exhausted the silly empty goals society falsely glamorizes as "success" you'll discover what really matters is not at all what they prioritize. It's much simpler, it's much more wholesome and humble. You have to accept and see that you're only a temporary traveller through life before you get the answers and the way to live your life correctly. That's why it's mostly people in the second half of their lives who find the way.

I agree with you, growing your own food means there is no need for money and you can be sure what you are eating is healthy and your environment nourishes your soul. Your friend in the UK does not see that working to earn money in order to be able to buy food from the supermarket is depriving him of the sustenances as most food from the supermarket are devoid of nutrients.

@@alanrogs3990 Careful with that wording "the right immigrants". Immigrants come to do the KKK type jobs here in Japan. The only real walls preventing this are restrictive immigration laws and resistance from the local population. Neither of these will be changed by immigration. Low population replacement is occuring because of lack of support and lack of money going to prospective parents. Japan has done virtually nothing to make serious improvements in this area for natives or immigrants alike. The issues here are all self inflicted by poor governance, incompetence and corporate greed. I do not expect this to improve any time soon.
