Dear Murtaza:

“my days are numbered, soon life will be harder, I can lose my father retirement, or if my mother died, and I refuse to accept any less then what I’m already living… tell me the truth, can it be any better then what already is?”-

“Can it be any better than what already is?”- you are asking me if your life style can be any better than it is now, knowing that (1) your father’s retirement will not be increasing, I assume, and/ or that you may lose it, and (2) knowing that you are not willing to work for money, and (3) knowing as I do, that the world is dying due to climate change (and the associated increase in political radicalization, violence and  corruption)-

The only answer I can think of is that your lifestyle can improve for a while (before we all die of heat) if someone who is financially capable sends you money so that you can have a better lifestyle than you are having now. Or if that someone sends you a plane ticket so that you can fly to a cooler country, live in that person’s big house with a pool and air conditioning and a big screen TV and on and on.

* I am guessing that the financially capable person (or persons) will need to send your younger sister a ticket too, because I don’t think that you want to live without her, and maybe to your other siblings, and to your mother too, in case any one of you refuse to leave the others behind in Iraq.

I don’t have any other answer that you will be open to consider: ever since you first posted last summer, your intention was never to consider my thoughts and suggestions (or anyone else’s). Never has it been your intention to be open to change your thinking (or to change other people’s thinking). Your intention with me was to get a bit of attention and affection. You manage to receive it, but my attention, affection and love really make no difference in your life, not practically, and not in any way that will make you less interested in dying.

And  so, my only answer is: since you are not interested in my/ anyone’s thoughts and suggestions, and since attention, affection and love make no practical difference to you, then the only thing another person can give you that can make a practical difference for you is money.

I think that you asked a follow up question, I will answer it later, after you reply to this post.
