I think especially Buddhism people are different, cuz Buddhism isn't actually a religion, more a way of living. Allthough china is one of the most polluted countries worldwide, buddhism is close related to the nature, people who life close by the nature and understand that they need eachother are very wise. American and European people know they are polluting mother earth but most of them don't even care about it.
to Tulefell hello.I go to your profile,I think we are different from rich and famous,becuase I am really very ordinary person,but I think we are same on this website,and we are same female who try to keep young . you are beautiful lady.
to Pekaatje you sound much knowledgeful about Asian culture,know many thing about Buddhism.Buddhism ask us not to hurt anyone ,to keep natural lifestyle .maybe I have no religion.but I know buddha teach us to keep good heart to anyone.

Just like buddhist people Indians used to live with respect of mother nature, but of course Indians where originally coming from Asia. In the very past there was a long small path from Asia all the way to the USA.
It seems people have walked that path, a strange thing that most animals didn't. At least I've never heard of a herd of buffalo's living in asia, or skunks or raccoons, bobcats etc.
Unfortunately the communism in China isn't working the way it should. In real communism everybody earns the same salary for different jobs, It doesn't matter if you are the president or the garbageman, you just do your job and get paid for it. Everyone is just as important as everybody else. But most people just want to have more and more and more, and even guy's like Donald Trump (the worst president the USA has had in the last 50 years) isn't satisfied with what he has, allthough he has more money than he can spent during the rest of his life. There are many poor people with debts in the USA, I bet Trump could help them all, but he don't.
The same thing is happening in China, lot's of millionairs and billionaires who don't care about the poor, but they buy an European soccerclub.
to PeKaatje hello,I go to see your profile,I see you know how to play chess,also work in Museum.so you have all kinds of knowledge about history, religion, culture, and politics etc.I am a peaceful lady,don't usually to discuss politics.there are longggggggggggggggggg longgggggggggggggg road to any success in this world,do anything not easily,make society better more difficultly,the advantage and the disadvantage exist at the same time .please don't deny people's all efforts just because they haven't succeeded yet.being a ordinary person in China,though my porket now not full of money ,but I remember in the past our country very very poor........lack of food...In those past days many people were very hungry to die,The communist party of China at least has done one great thing to make 1.3 billion Chinese people not to hungry any longer, in our Chinese people eyes,we are grateful to this thing,maybe The communist party of China not 100% perfect,but in our eyes,it's not bad.

Religion builds community here particularly organised religion. Eastern mysticism is there to develop the sense that you are alone and detached from the world and everyone in it. It's hyper-escapism, a radically individual retreat from life itself where people kill themselves and others more, not less.
We are different in any sense of the word...and may be this is a one of the reasons many Western people are so strongly attracted to the Eastern culture, it makes they feel like a warm hearted and soft people they are actually not...
to ChesneyChrist life is hard to many people ,facing all kinds of difficulty ,sometimes people need put some belief in their heart not to lose hope or courage.what's hyper-escapism?some belief make people forget sadness to get power to live better.Should we think more positively?
