 In 1999 I left my home country and have pretty much spent the majority of that time travelling, sailing and working all around the world. The one lesson that keeps coming back is that those that have the least in this world have the most to give. I see and experience it constantly in the poorest of countries. 
From a man in a dugout canoe in Indonesia giving us fresh coconuts and asking for nothing to locals in Tonga offering the fresh food that they grow these people have many lessons we in the west could learn. 
The joy of life doesn’t come from what you have it comes from what you give.

 I agree. Western society has got it all wrong. No sense of community. Everyone out for themselves. It’s sad to see 😔.
