Richness far beyond that of Silver and Gold

During CNY, I went to my mum-in-law home for dinner. My son was offered 3 ice-cream cones, of which he was to choose 1 for himself alone. But he quickly grabbed all three and passed one to my wife, one for me, and one for himself. I wasn't really interested in the ice-cream so I wanted to pass it to another person, but my son took it back and pressed it in my hands. 



It's quite sweet actually that he thought of his family first. It's not the first instance when he did that. There was a time when we went up to take an MRT ride somewhere, and there were only 2 seats left. Usually, I'll just stand, so I told my wife and son to just sit at the two empty seats. They did, but when my son realised that I wasn't seated, he rushed out to grab my hands and pull me towards the seats. This is an indication that I should sit down together. Then he proceeded to squeeze his big butt in between the two of us, lol


Is my son selfish? 


Can't really say so, because usually selfish is reserved for people who think for themselves alone. But is caring only for your immediate family considered selfish behaviour? I will say that it is. But it is less selfish than those who cared for themselves only, obviously. It's just that I think the sense of 'self' should be defined a little broader. What if we treat 'self' to be inclusive of the weak and the defenceless? What if we include all other humans? Other species? The world at large? Some religious texts will say that the self is a self-construct and an illusion - everything is really just one.


I know that is an ideal case, but it's really a good goal to aim for. If he can include his 'selfishness' within his tribe, and we work to enlarge the size of the tribe to include more and more sentient beings, he will be more compassionate and empathetic. That is a far fetched goal but nevertheless a good value to inculcate to the next generation. As parents, I think it's our sacred responsibility to bring up kids that will make the world equal or better after they leave, rather than worse. I understand that as a single child, my son might inherit some characteristics associated with that status, like selfishness, self-centred, entitled etc. I'm quite determined not to make that happen.


If my son grows up well and becomes a positive contribution to the world, that will be a richness far richer than that of gold and silver. Live long and prosper.

I will like to express my gratitude and appreciation to R O O T K I TS R E C O V E R Y F I R M an incredible and reliable Recovery team that saved me during the time i was scammed by an online crypto investment company almost lost everything I had on the course. before I could realize what’s was happening to me it was already late as i had gone far too deep with this fraudulent company, i invested a total amount of $1.1m with this company without being aware that it was a fake crypto investment company that never exited. I was contacted by a lady named Maria on facebook as a professional broker who guided me through the whole process, she helped me setup an account with coinbase where i made all the funding from to their wallet, well aside from the pay on the first week of my membership i never got paid or was able to withdraw again, both my investments and profits was held back by this company after multiple attempts to withdraw my funds. Mrs Maria acting like she was helping me out then convinced me to get a loan just to lose it again. When i finally found out that it was all scam and they were never going to approve my withdrawal requests, I tried to hire the CNC intelligence they provided me with the details of the scammers but was not able to recover back my investments. i then came up with the idea of getting a hacker that can help out and it was how i found this Professional Recovery Team R O O T K I TS R E E C O V E R Y F I R M with their contact details ( Email ; ROOTKITS4 @ G M AIL . COM ) haven read people’s reviews from the blog about this team services i was convinced enough that my funds can still be recovered , i contacted the team and had them provided with every required details regarding my investments with the fake crypto company and they went on and recovered everything i invested just within 48 hrs they proceeded with my case. I must say that I’m glad to go through the reviews carefully and with the help of some enlightening ones here I made the right decision to contact this great team. they are the best team I love transparency and am glad R O O T K I T S R E C O V E R Y F I R M provided that.

Most challenges of withdrawals we traders are facing today in binary option trading is not because binary option or crypto investment companies is no longer a nice place to invest capitals, but the problem is that there's a lot of scam brokers all over the world.

I was scammed by a Binary trading platform around march. ended up loosing about $135,000 to this platform. i was unable to withdraw any funds directly into my bank account. they denied all my withdrawal request, and gave me some excuses why my withdrawals can’t be approved. i was ask to make an extra 24k into the platform wallet which they claimed that it would be for maintenance fee. it was such a tough time for me because that was all I had and they tricked me into investing the money with a guarantee that I will make profit from the investment. i haven’t felt so empty in my life, all effort to recover my funds didn’t seem to help. After a few weeks i came across ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM online. i read a lot of good reviews about the team as a lot people confirm they are genuine and expert recovery firm. Finally i contacted them through their email - ROOTKITS 4 @ G MAIL. . COM requesting for help regarding my lost funds to the trading option platform. This firm saved me and recovered back my investment they kept me calm and they were professional throughout the whole process of recovery. Unbelievable i recouped 100% of my money back.

VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM has served a broad range of companies, organizations, and institutions through Asset Retrieval, investment Analysis,Fraud Intervention & execution team and advisory capabilities.I say all this because I had the privilege of collaborating with VALOR TEAM after a get rich quick scheme gone bad,”Long story short not everything you see on social media is actually real .Instead I took risks without proper research and being new to the whole term “cryptocurrency investments” we new investors tend to be at opposite ends of the risk spectrum. We don’t want to lose money but also want big returns. This leads to people taking chances too early in their investment journey. I can’t blame my ignorance for my losses.Because I never thought the company I was involved in was a fraud or that I was investing into something risky, lost money and almost stopped investing altogether, I’m expressing my sincere gratitude to “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM” For all their assistance. Already you are panicking and searching for a solution or a way out of that unsure investment you got going on or a frozen account/asset, it could be anything but one thing is certain VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM IS QUALIFIED.

Cryptocurrency investment can be a thrilling yet perilous endeavor, as I discovered through a rollercoaster of experiences with Litecoins. Intrigued by the success stories of friends who profited from Litecoin investments, I ventured into the realm of altcoins despite my initial focus on Bitcoin trading. All began auspiciously enough when a schoolmate recommended a promising website for Litecoin transactions.

Feeling defrauded and desperate, I pursued every conceivable avenue to recover my stolen Litecoins to no avail.

My name is Lois, and my journey into the world of online crypto investments began with hopeful aspirations of significant returns. Entranced by the promise of wealth, I committed a substantial sum of $187,000 to a seemingly reputable platform.

The stark realization hit me hard—beyond the financial loss, it was the betrayal of trust and the crushing blow to my aspirations that left me reeling.
