Lessons from Tibet

"Communists have done some good. At least we now have roads. Some years ago, there is no road in these mountains."

"But it once was good for cultivation. No?"

"We often blame our poverty on these mountains and rivers. But we know that city dwellers are stressful so they like it here. But we wanted to go to the cities."

"Are you happy?"

"Here in Tibet, if you are poor, nobody says you are poor. When you are rich, nobody says you are rich. We are just like ourselves."

"There's no stress here."

"Yes."
