dealt a bad hand

I need to read Man’s search for meaning. Ughh… sorry, that came out of nowhere, what I meant was, I need to know how to deal with things when I have been clearly dealt a bad hand by reading the work of a man who had the least reasons to see hope!

These are my completely useless two cents.

Trust me, just the acknowledgement of adversity of another helps (as long as the victim tries to acknowledge/accept the reality and work hard on improving it rather than drowning in their own miseries and the pleasures of being a victim)

. If you can handle the learning for controls engineering, a 2 year degree will get you a good paying job in a lot of the western world helping companies with their automation of production lines.

That’s very interesting, thanks for suggestion, I will look it up!

Unfortunately the nationalist have a lot of thugs to do their work and wrack havoc on people trying to bring about change

Haha… I have got personal experience with the goons. The ones who clam to religion the hardest (at least at the local level) seem to be the most morally corrupt. I have had this experience since I was a little kid, the people who wear the most saffron seem to be the least intelligent and empathetic. I had once seen a guy no older than myself at the time hurl rape abuses at a woman under her facebook post and the man was bloody covered in saffron! These fuckers made me lose my love for the color! Ughh…

Anyway I think you sound like a great person and the best of luck

Thank you very much! :)

I emigrated myself too, to England ironically…

I kinda like England, the literature, culture, journalists and much more! Apparently things are not as rosy right now, but it’s a wonderful place to be nonetheless, so, you are basically living my dream :')

Cheers, I have many friends over there (as laborers mostly), but I will try, upskill and try to get there.

Nothing good will come to me unless I leave India, the pain of living in India is a meaningless pain, almost nothing good comes out of this pain! Thank you very much!

If you want to “escape India” for better chances, just get to Dubai

I am anti-theist but have a hindu name, do you think that would hurt my chances? Also, what do you think about the government there, free-speech and all those nice things? (I am ok with not having these as long as the system is fair and I won’t be persecuted. Also, I have a said a lot of anti-religious stuff in the past, I don’t believe that anymore, would this cause any problem?)

Don’t get me wrong, I would break a leg to get there, but I am just wondering what I should do before I reach there. I kinda admire the rulers of Dubai, you have absolute power and you have created a wonderful place for everyone of your citizen instead of creating a dictatorship, that’s admirable.

I live in a ok place right now, but no matter where I go, I can’t deny that I am working my ass off just to afford the basic stuff and paying 4 months or more of taxes for nothing much!

For things to change all at once, Indians need to stop deluding themselves into thinking that they are this great country and every problem India faces is due to the outside influence or due to minorities. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. If India knew what the problem was like the Japanese did after the West forced it to open it’s waters for trade long ago, Indians would have stood a chance, but we don’t, we are in a really bad shape and many don’t know that we are in a bad shape and those who know are not focusing on the problem, rather they are focusing on Mughals, Muslims and serveral other external factors, they are not looking inwards.

Go back in time a prevent the British Empire

I have changed my mind on that really. I mean, yes they bled us dry in terms of money and we could have used that right about now, they destroyed domestic manufacturing, they used as their bank and much more, but it’s a little reductive to think had the British not invaded things would have been great. It might have been better in someways and worse in others. Google the Sati Practice, India was no golden bird before the British invaded and post-British Empire we are responsible for all the failures of our state, Indians love to blame the British, while they were responsible, it’s not very productive to be stuck in the past, Indians blame muslim invaders, Britishers, secularism and many more things for their failure, except of course, themselves and the culture they created!

You seemed to understand my point, though

Very well, you considered a lot of things before you wrote that comment :).

Don’t doubt yourself. Don’t be in a rut. You’ll never live otherwise.

Yes sir! I need to deal with that.

Again, thanks for the well-intentioned comments! :)

have you considered less visited but developed countries like Argentina, Uruguay, Hungary, Latvia, whatever? These are likely a lot easier to immigrate to.

Yep, considering countries like that, especially like Hungary or Argentina. I need to set one country on mind and start learning their language right about now!

Thank you very very much for those well wishes! :)
