Do we must be happy in our own country?

Mentioning England, I heard that the country is oh-so-full of foreigners. Can you see that? And what do you English people think about those people who come there to get better life? Do you feel somehow disturbed or do you even like it? I don't want to be racist but I just want to hear what local people think about foreigners who come over.

I'll be honest with you, that is one of the biggest problems in our country, I don't mind immigration it happens all the time but when it starts to affect a country in a negative way it should be stopped or reduced. I have a lot of immigrant friends who themselves are saying enough is enough. I understand everybody wants a better life and moving is the only option but sometimes it's not possible. Now that the conservatives are in power they there has been some improvement but there is still room for more. Too many immigrants coming over means the citizzens suffer as they find it hard to find jobs because people from other countries like Poland are willing to take less money and I understand people want to hire the person who takes the least money home but slave labour is another thing I don't agree with especially in a supposedly forward country. I'm half English though my father was an immagrant and my mother is English, so I guess I'm half an immigrant haha!...

Hahahaha... It's somehow funny when you describe yourself as 'half-immigrant'. But since your mother is English then I think you shouldn't mention yourself in such way as immigrant. That's it, the problem is : Affecting the country in such a negative way. My friend in England once told me that many people per month have been deported back to their countries after being caught working illegally. But after all I think you are nice person cause many people I know just don't like foreigners, many of them even don't like it for no reason.

So, don't you think how much money you have sometimes also depends on where you are. I'm writing this cause I know in some countries we 'might get money so easily', unlike in other so-called-developing-countries. I personally know this cause I met people from some countries and each of them shared me their unique experiences. One from developed country in West Europe ever said that 'If I have no job nor money, I would just go to the government and ask for help, absolutely they will help me'. Another person from less developed country in Asia ever said to me 'If I have no money with me, then it is my risk of living'. I think that aspect can affect what kind of happiness you are having. Therefore, I'm not surprised knowing that SO MANY PEOPLE from less developed countries doing such a mass migration to more developed country just to get, what we call, as MONEY.

Hi there, you wrote that you still prefer Singapore despite it is more stressful there? I wouldn't be happy in the place where I am more stressful. I would be very happy in the place where my heart can sleep within enough time although thinking about money money and money is still THE thing. Everytime I try to resist that money is the main of happiness, everytime I fail.

Hi there, nice to know that you don't see any harm in that. But however people for sure do have different point of views. What I mean is that they might 'harm' you in such way that you don't see nor feel. I'm not pursuing you to find such negative things but just want to share that this world is full of puzzle.

Hi there, I'm sorry that you are not happy in the place where you are now. I heard that a lot of people from many countries are going to Singapore to find such a better life. Well, again I'm not sure if Singapore can be THE place where someone can be happy. Never had any personal experience I say.

Hi there, thanks for the comment! It really tells me to be very such a thankful person. Unfortunately, I have to admit that it is such a hard thing to be. When you mention 'somewhere you belong', does that always mean as 'something you are originally from', or 'somewhere else where you find it's okay'? Just want to get your opinion about that cause I have been asking more than 10 people and got more than 10 different answers as well.

Hi there, glad to know that you adore your own country. That's not an easy thing to do, especially nowadays. I always do the same thing, go as far as the time can bring but in the end I just want to sleep on the grass my country gives to me. I also think to earn myself money in overseas but in the end I just want to go back and help people building the country.

Thank you so much for your delighting comment. Definitely agree with you that happiness and unhappiness make our life colorful, doesn't matter where we are. It's just ashame knowing that local people don't really appreciate foreigners who come over while the foreigners themselves enjoy their life there. You got what I meant , didn't you?

Hey there, maybe your mother just doesn't like the country for natural reason. I know some people dislike some countries for NO REASON at all. Once we ask them 'why', they wouldn't be able to explain, not even a bit.

Thank you for your really deep and meaningful comment! I agree with most of your statements. I personally see people from some country compare their life with those who are living in 'more-developed' countries until finally they finally choose to migrate. But I'm just wondering what would the local people think about other people who come over. How about there in The Philippines?

I think you are an optimistic person! Hard to be like you since you mention that your country's government is corrupt but then you still give yourself change to get along with it and not consider moving somewhere else where everyone says 'it's happier to be here'. Is the corruption very bad there in The Philippines? But if the government is bad while you can still enjoy your life with all the things, why not?

Nice to know that you are very happy and thankful for being in your own country. That's the thing that people nowadays start forgetting to do. Well, for studying reason I think it's still acceptable cause they can gather experience from foreign countries along with their study.
