It catches my attention when you say, we used to laugh at the neighboring country and see how they are now, I believe in KARMA, life gives you back the good and the bad, so it could be that it is collecting debts, therefore you have to go through this world trying to be neutral.
I wish you a happy day
May be it is Karma. Now we need to live with this, even our neighboring country currency is 3x stronger than ours.
