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.

We need to stop being fooled by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $185,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. I was researching and find a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their funds, I contacted the email provided for consultation, Sean_recovery@cyber-wizard.com I got feedback after some minutes and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back.

I saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency about two months ago and I took my chance. I contacted a broker who I saw videos on YouTube and I invested a huge sum of money into Bitcoins & Ethereum hoping to gain a huge profit, while I was waiting and after some weeks, I saw on their website that I have doubled my money. I tried to make a withdrawal as I needed money to foot my bills but the broker insist I continue to invest or pay some money to withdraw my funds, I realize at that point I was being catfished. A month after, I saw a post about SPYWEB CYBER, a funds recovery company and I contacted them immediately, to my surprise SPYWEB was able to recover my bitcoins and Ethereum after I provided the necessary information for them. They were able to retrieve all my money and gave me the scammer's location which I sent to the authorities and these people were apprehended. I’m super grateful for SPYWEB CYBER and wish to recommend them to everyone out there.
SPYWEB can be contacted via E-mail: (contact@spyweb. tech) & (spyweb@cyberdude. com)

A word of caution: the majority of these hackers are imitations. I am aware of how legitimate hackers operate; they are never so transparent in their advertising. In my frantic attempt for quick assistance to get my money back after an online cryptocurrency theft, I was deceived numerous times. When I needed money, I sought to withdraw the $98,000 I had invested in bitcoin, but the website demanded a withdrawal charge, which I paid and got myself into an even worse position. My acquaintance connected me to a team of reliable hackers who handle all types of recovery and respond quickly; I got in touch with them. Craker cyberdude recovery hacking skills might include a variety of methods, particularly the ability to find misplaced bitcoins. I was able to retrieve my investment dollars thanks to Craker cyberdude Recovery in the end. They have highly special, legitimate, and lawful abilities for recovering. You can get in touch with them for your bitcoin recovery, and you'll be happy you did.

BITCOIN INVESTMENT
Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It’s hard to know how to get started. Trading the Crypto market has really been a life changer for me. I almost gave up on crypto currency at some point not until I got a proficient trader Bernie Doran, he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I’m not here to converse much but to share my testimony, I invested $5000.00 and got back $50,500.00 within 5 days of investment. His strategies and signals are the best and I have gained more knowledge. If you are new to cryptocurrency.

Hey guys, I am Ava. I was skeptical at first but after reading so many reviews I had to give “HACKWEST AT WRITEME DOT COM” a try. Mind you, I was burned by two others who claimed to help. Hack West helped remove my information from the darkweb and also fixed my credit score. The student loans, eviction, collections and charge offs were removed and my FICO score increased to 790 average. West also helped to recover about $78k worth of BTC I lost via a romance scam. Hack West is reliable and honest; I promised to let the world know about West, perhaps this 5 star review. Please note I wasn't in any way paid to write this review.
