Considering how wonderful the world is, I look forward to being able to write many more posts like this one. Not sure France will be the source for the next one, but we shall see. I foresee some culture shock as we return to a developed nation after 3 months in Morocco. Shall be interesting! 🙂

Thanks, Linda. It was very mixed emotions as we left the oasis today. Tomorrow will be weird as well as we finally leave the country.

Westerners like giving money to “organizations”. They count this as generosity, and it is. Muslim countries are often seen by the West from afar as not being very giving, since internet statistics don’t show much giving (to organizations).
I imagine it would seem odd to them to give back a toy or coin. It’s expected that you would pay-it-forward. A westerner might see it as a poor person giving away what little they have, but from their perspective what goes around comes around and they aren’t actually losing what they give away.
We could learn something.
Some of the USA’s issues with the native peoples hundreds of years ago were friction from European-descendents wanting to take sole possession of stuff. Native peoples tended more towards a person having primary possession, not necessarily exclusive possession. “Stuff” rotated ownership as the situation evolved, migrating through the seasons. They often “stole” but stealing wasn’t as bad to them as it was to westerners who believed in complete ownership.
Possessions can own you, if you let them.
This guy says it better…
