183. About to leave
Global ecommunity is based on wonderful ideas and has the power to change the world. But before we reach there, we must face big challanges. I have been working with this idea for two years. First in the shape of Global ebank and now with Global ecommunity.
The aim with this project is to give all people in the world a basic income. Enough money to cover all basic needs and put an end of poverty and the endless hunt of income for survivial.
In this project, I have given and recieved a lot of love. I have met so many friends and I just wish I also could have met you in life.
This period has been immensely intense. I have spent almost all my time on it and a lot of money too.
I has been a good experience in general but I have also been under a lot of pressure. It is a great responsibility to run such a big project. I alone has taken all important decisions.
However there have been some big problems as well. Every day people are asking me for money and they come to me with their stories.
Sometimes the stories are very serious. What will you do? You have money and someone you care about need money for treatment, otherwise she will die.
The problem is that you dont know if the story is true or not. Will you risk to give away big amount of money or let your friend die. And what happens if these stories comes up again and again.
There is this acute lack of trust. I have helped a lot of members with money or lending them money but it is almost impossible to get the money back.
And then when I decide that I will never give away anything more, there are new stories coming up. And some of them are so well arranged that is impossible for me to decide if the person is true or not.
I have a very strong believe in the good in people. I grew up in a country where people trusted eachother and could work together effectively.
I really wanted to help the people in Africa. I want it to become great. I want it to prosper. But trust is such a big problem. And if you cant trust people, it is almost impossible to think in long term.
Survival for the day is the main focus. When I ask people, do you want ten dollar now or ten thousand of dollar next year, many people prefer the ten dollar now.
How can you develop a country under such conditions? And the same if you dont know where you have your closest friends. If they can have 100 dollar or your friendship, what will they choose.
I am emotionally exhaused and I feel really broken. It is very sad but I have lost my entusiasm for this project. I cant go on any longer. I dont know who I can trust any longer.
We were many who shared this dream and many of you will of course be disappointed. Some of you will understand. Some of you will look back at this with positive feelings anyway because you met new people and learned a lot of things.
Is this the end? I dont know. We will see the reactions. If there are many members that want to continue and want to do it for the future of Africa not for earning some dollars, then I might come back. But right now I am not capable to go on.
Thanks for our time together. Bye for now. /Emil
