if you want to be a millionaire, you better live in indonesia. you can call yourself a millionaire with just about 110 US dollars, or 5,460 Philippine pesos. that is, at prevailing exchange rates.
clearly, everything is not illuminated. in order to survive its complexities, you have to have the technique of unawareress. don't care for things that doesn't bother you. don't mind for just about everything under the sun.
ignorance is bliss.
