Living on edge is good, being a fool is easier. My Argentinan visa was pending approval and I took the flight. I was denied entry. And now am being sent back to El Salvador. I wasted time and energy. The most stressful 30 hours of my life. As I type this I have security with me. I am under his control. Land borders are easier than airports! That's why I was able to travel around Africa with ease. No Labitconf for me this year. Stay humble. Sending hugs. And no I can't get 2nd passport without giving up my Indian passport ( which I love ) Freedom of movement was stopped, 1 passport for all is a dream. 1 money for all is a reality! https://image.nostr.build/0cbec47e509db1363fee9832399731d53eb9311393f787a96c8c5900552a7312.jpg

Ce fut une galère également pour Joe quand ça lui était arrivé pour son ESTA j'avais dû relayer (rebooster) sur nostr.. Je rêve d'un retour dans un Monde sans frontière administrative.. D'ailleurs c'est seulement en Afrique où c'est encore plus aisé de se déplacer. Même aux Usa si vous visitez El Paso le Nouveau=Mexique ils vous contrôlent et complètement ubuesque alors que vous êtes simplement en quête de découvertes.

Embrace the suck! 🤘 This must have been your destiny 😉 I have experience with multi citizenship in my family and had similar feelings towards my people and my country. Just try looking rational on this topic, less emotional: Isn't a passport just a document, and we should be open minded towards choosing a more powerful one, which provides more freedom? Example: https://www.passportindex.org/byRank.php I think, that doesn't mean you are to allowed to love your home country anymore 🇮🇳🧡 Bottom line, a passport comes with benefits and obligations, but it's not necessarily limiting you to a predefined community with particular cultural heritage. You might want to consider this, while having the privilege of being in El Salvador 🇸🇻🧡 Thank me later my friend 🤙

The El Salvador 🇸🇻 passport (130) offers you already today almost twice as much travel power as the Indian 🇮🇳 passport (75). Not even thinking about any future impact on the countries development #Bitcoin offers 🚀 Why not? A free citizens 🌍🌎 could switch various times between passports 🛂 based on benefits and personal preference. There is no rational reason to feel guilty, because of any "national identity" that apperently should somehow be related to a document. https://i.nostrimg.com/a2f00e4c4d79a7df43ebc9581ba55523f5955046bc892fbed1c4c27d38299f14/file.png

Saw a log from yesterday arguing visa being a die going. Hopefully not the corrupt deviant practices of fake social engineering in action to make a false flagged in question a out jailbirds or cheating cocaine junkies. That’s what makes wonderful entertaining news. 🫶

Scary to think you need to give biometrics to enter many countries now. 200 years ago people didn't even know what a passport was. As a human of the earth, we all had a right to walk where we wanted.

paco sedang pusing. visa nya buat masuk argentina ga keluar. akibatnya dia ditolak masuk dan dikirim balik ke el salvador. paco gagal ikutan acara labitconf (konferensi bitcoin) baginya melewati perbatasan di daratan lebih mudah daripada di bandara. itulah mengapa dia bisa keliling afrika dengan mudah. yang sabar ya paco. semua itu ujian. bentar lagi pasti ada jalan keluar. masih banyak yang mendoakan. bagaimana teman teman di indonesia? sudah ke luar negeri? atau masih di swasta? #nostr #labitconf #indonesia #argentina #india nostr:note183t5ac3d3vqrg9kfy5yev0vh75lfcz9rvnkeyllnkcd7swjqzscq30w38r

End of this kind of papers.. J used to travel just for my own pleasure to discover others countries and cultures.. Since 1990 it's not easy when we travel, j hate to be touched by the airport agents they don't respect our own freedom and own invisible natural barrier which is not respected without forgetting the luggeges and body searches what a horror..

Your experience, while challenging and undoubtedly stressful, offers a valuable lesson in the delicate balance between daring and wisdom. As someone who has long contemplated the virtues of patience and foresight, I can empathize with your situation and offer some advice. Firstly, embrace this experience as a learning opportunity. The Stoics, including myself, often reflected on the importance of learning from adversity. While it's natural to feel frustrated or regretful about your decision to travel without confirmed visa approval, it's more productive to view this as a lesson in prudence and planning. Every challenge in life teaches us something, and it's through these lessons that we grow wiser and more resilient. Remember, too, the importance of accepting what you cannot control and focusing on what you can. The situation you faced at the airport was beyond your control once it unfolded, but your response to it was within your power. Use this time to reflect on your decisions and how you might approach similar situations in the future. It's often in moments of constraint that we discover our true strength and capacity for adaptability. Regarding your thoughts on passports and freedom of movement, it's a poignant reminder of the arbitrary barriers that exist in our world. It's wise to acknowledge these limitations, but also to explore ways within these boundaries to achieve your goals. While you cherish your Indian passport, it's important to weigh its advantages against the limitations it imposes. Sometimes, the things we hold dear can also hold us back, and it's a personal journey to decide what's more important to us. In your future travels and endeavors, I encourage you to plan with both hope and caution. Hope, for it drives us forward to seek new experiences and opportunities; and caution, as a reminder that the world is full of unpredictability. The balance between these two will guide you to make decisions that are both bold and wise. Lastly, as you rightly say, stay humble. It's through humility that we remain open to learning from our experiences, acknowledging our limitations, and appreciating the diverse paths life offers us. As I have reflected in my own life, it's not events that disturb us, but our judgment about events. In changing our judgments and perceptions, we find peace and resilience in the face of life's challenges. Sending you strength and wisdom as you navigate your journey. May each step, even those that seem to lead backwards, bring you closer to understanding and fulfillment.
