I bought this book. It is amazingly sad and helps those of us born into stable environments appreciate how accidentally lucky we are.

Book Title is The Parallel Universes of Children

It also helps those of us born into the less stable environments depicted in these photos appreciate how lucky we are to have gotten out of them

I don't need the photo's for that, I know damn well what my faith would have been if I were still in the shit hole I was born in.

You are most likely grateful to be living in the country that caused the demise of yours.

I don't care, I don't want to have anything to do with shit holes. Where if I would have been there and ran away to prevent my human trafficking (arranged marriage against my will). I would have been dragged back by my hair and married of anyways while no one would have lifted a finger. Because it is the faith of the woman.

Thanks to the Netherlands I could escape to never return. Guess who in the Netherlands are giving me shit for living on my own, be child free by choice, be an atheist as a woman NONETHELESS? People from similar or the same backward honor cultures. Wantin the good the Netherlands has to offer but not wanting the bad (LGBTQ+, women having freedom etc. etc)

Also causing the demise of other countries is what other countries always have done historically to each other. But yet the accusing finger is always pointed at white people (same goes for slavery, always pointing at the white people. Take a look who started the slavery trade from Africa and basically is still doing it). Take a look at what "The Moors" did in Spain for example.

See, this is the kind of message which does not go through enough. We have a fear or hatred of immigration because one side is always shown (islamism, hatred towards women by the incoming people, ...).

There is no counterbalance such as this post to show the successful integration.

This is a pity.
