You're right, there shouldn't be a connection between wealth and freedom. For instance, now I'm in a developing country and people here have very little money. Yet they feel so abundant. They give everything. They have a sense of freedom. It's hard to put in words. In New Zealand (& I presume many other developed countries) people have fallen slave to consumerism or society is falling apart. How can I describe it? Hmm there is a heaviness. A sense of demand that can't be achieved. A sense of 'hard' that shouldn't be there. It's in the edge of my consciousness 😅

But while wealth doesn't really determine freedom (I know this first hand coming out of hardship earlier in life myself), I think sometimes, even the person who has an inner sense of freedom, would also have a sense of heaviness in New Zealand unless they are doing really well financially. If that makes any sense? I guess we will only find out when (if) we move back someday. Maybe this is part of my fear of moving back there (I don't want to feel the weight of struggle in my homeland) 🤷‍♀️

Thank you so much for provoking my inner world. You are challenging my own limitations and there is nothing I love more than to see my limitations 💜🙏🏼🫂⚡️⚡️
