Canada has a perfectly organized system. Well, not perfect, but it's organized. The problem is that I started to feel like I was losing my humanity because everything I do, I do for the system. This starts with the streets, traffic lights, police, and taxation, and includes having to follow certain ways to do my job, and having to speak and talk in certain ways. It actually started to feel so artificial and robotic that I now miss my simple, raw life in Egypt. I loved how I developed ways to find parking for my car. I love and miss how I found ways to go through traffic and go between lanes. I miss finding ways to cross streets even when traffic is fast and dangerous. I had been developing a lot of features as a human, a lot of skills, and a lot of intelligence as a human. Today in Canada, in this organized, artificial, plastic life, I am losing those. I don't actually see what the gain is. I am not gaining any kind of improvement in the quality of my life. I don't think that it's better for my health, my spirituality, or my intelligence. In fact, the health system here, which is supposed to be of a higher quality, is a big letdown. You can ask any Canadian about it, and they will agree. If you have a problem, if you suspect a problem, or if you need a checkup to avoid a problem, good luck finding someone to take care of you. This is the system that we live in. It is designed to serve the system, and the system is going to promise to take care of you the way it sees fit. This is not a system where you are empowered to take care of yourself. This is the reality. You actually need to hide yourself. You actually need to wear the mask and follow that system. Yes, the country and the system itself will become stronger. Yes, the system itself will be a superpower. But you, as a human, as an individual, every day you live here and participate in the system, you are losing your humanity and your skills. The day that system crashes, and it will, you will realize that you are left with nothing because you are not trained to learn, you are not trained to grow, and you are not trained to have any kind of skills that can help you take care of yourself. That is a very harsh reality that every Canadian needs to understand. Not just any Canadian, actually, but everyone who lives in what we call a first-world country. This is the system that we are talking about. It's exactly that. It's worse with Canada because they act like they are humans. They act like they care. They act empathetic. They act like they give a shit about you. In reality, they are very good actors. They want to look like they accept differences. They want to look like they love whoever is different from them. But if you don't speak like them, if you don't look like them, if you don't use the same words as them, if you don't acknowledge the system, acknowledge this big flaw in their thinking, and act like it is meaningful and beautiful, you will be hated. You will be stabbed in the back at every possible opportunity. So be careful, be careful of this very evil country. It is run by a bunch of greedy business people who actually treat everyone in this country as slaves. This system is designed so well that you can't see it. It's designed so well to serve only a few humans who, most of the time, don't even live in this harsh, boring, depressing environment. They are having a real life, living a meaningful life, enjoying being humans, while the majority of Canadians, who are basically immigrants who came to this country thinking that it's a better life for them, are led to suffer and expect that one day they will have a better life. Well, wake up. I have seen those billionaires. I have worked with them. I have lived with them. I have seen how they live their life. They are enjoying the human experience, the raw human experience. They do everything the way they want, the way they believe, the way they think is right for them, their families, and their kids. They put the laws and let the laws be respected and followed by those who work for them. It is not for them. The only way out is to stop playing this stupid game. This matrix, this artificial virtual life, is designed by them, and we cannot win this game. But we can decide not to play this game. We have to go back to being humans. We have to respect our humanity. We start from nothing. We start from just sitting, doing nothing. This is the fundamental human skill. We do nothing. We have the capacity to do nothing. We can control our feelings. We can control our emotions. We can control our understanding. We can understand that we die anyway. Death is inevitable. We don't need to escape death. We just maximize our chances to live a better life. But we will die eventually, and we don't need to escape that. We don't need to be afraid of that. We know that we can survive without food for days or even weeks. We know that we don't need to hustle and run and be stressed for things that we don't actually need. Just go back to being human. Debate, philosophize, serve, disagree, agree, love, share, enjoy life, touch it, feel it, be intentional, be grounded, connect with other humans, connect with other beings, connect with the universe, search God, search your origin, search the Creator, search everything, and you will enjoy being a human. Stop playing the game and be human. Please, please be human again.
Canada Made Me Realize I Was Losing My Humanity

Canada has a perfectly organized system. Well, not perfect, but it's organized. The problem is that I started to feel like I was losing my humanity — because everything I do, I do for the system. This starts with the streets, traffic lights, police, and taxation, and includes having to follow certain ways to do my job, having to speak and talk in certain ways. It started to feel so artificial and robotic that I now miss my simple, raw life in Egypt.
I loved how I developed ways to find parking. I miss how I found ways to go through traffic, move between lanes, cross streets even when it was fast and dangerous. I had been developing real features as a human — skills, intelligence, instincts. Today in Canada, in this organized, artificial, plastic life, I am losing those. I don't see what the gain is. I am not gaining any improvement in the quality of my life. I don't think it's better for my health, my spirituality, or my intelligence.
The health system here, which is supposed to be higher quality, is a big letdown. Ask any Canadian and they'll agree.

It will promise to take care of you the way it sees fit. This is not a system where you are empowered to take care of yourself. You have to wear the mask. You have to follow it.
Yes, the country will become stronger. Yes, the system will be a superpower. But you, as a human, as an individual — every day you participate in it, you are losing your humanity and your skills.

Wake up. I have seen those billionaires. I have worked with them, lived near them, seen how they live. They are enjoying the raw human experience. They do everything the way they want, the way they believe, the way they think is right for them and their families. They make the laws and let everyone else follow them. The laws are not for them.
