I have to say that I find GREEDINESS repulsive in people and this constant unpleased attitude that comes with it.
This repeatedly groaning and moaning what does NOT work out well.
I couldn't go over it with a friend - we split up over this, because I didn't want to live at the same place. It was disturbing my inner Balance and
HARMONY.
Of course Sh**t happens and that can influence our mood, emotions for some period of time. No problem with this.
BUT out of that - you feel better when making the decision to look at the bright side of Life. And what does work out well.
That is MHO

Osprey; Words well spoken, However I think deep down you do "Care".
In all of my years in Baja- Loreto- I found the inteaction with the Mexicanos a Soul-satisfing- time of my Life.
From the 60's on , I began to see a change in the People in the States, so looking for a Happier Life, I was led to Baja where I saw many, many People
with very few "Material Goods" that were much Happier with their way of Life, than the Hippies, Baby Boomers etc.
I did observe the Changes brought about by Telephone, TV, Tourist, opening of the Road etc. On my Visit last week, I noticed a sutle change in the
Attitude of the Mexicanos, that being that there is a resentment starting to emerge aganist the Americans/Canadians coming into the Area, buying
Property,living behind walls, never interacting with the People, just expecting the Mexicano to be Grateful that they have arrived!!
I think it is good advice for each new visitor to read a book written many years ago titled ""The Ugly American".

I have a friend Filipe whom I met on the beach at Agua Verde. He lives in Ciudad Constiution and sells draperies and used air conditioners. Whenever
he wants he goes fishing, or snorkeling for Cholate clams. He told me about his brother who makes $20/hr building mobile homes up in California and
how his brother works all the time and hardly ever gets to go fishing. Filipe said he prefers to stay in Mexico where he can fish when he wants, to
making a lot more money in the in the States.
In other words, money is not what is important to him. I feel much the same way, it's about being happy with what you have and doing what you like
to do.
