Insights From Kampot: East and West
Entry 32 of 47 | show all | print this entry |
From my perspective, the main difference between East and West is the concept of capturing the moment (or day).
In the West, capturing the moment means to make the best out of it: grab opportunities, take actions to secure a better future, and continuously think ahead.
In the East, capturing the moment also means to make the best out of it: Relax, enjoy, have fun, and see what comes up.
Westerners many call some Asians "lazy", while Asians are amused (and maybe saddened) by the restless and stressful attitude of Westerners.
I believe that both ways of being are valid and hope to be accepting of both at all times.
Where I stayed:
Bodhi Villa
