All the point is not to suffer it. I feel the same when I see the computing stuff. But I 
know that my first value is myself. But in my country is easiest, because we have an 
historical context plenty of indigenous cultures, which are very interior and they don't 
suffer their needs when they have themselves profoundly.

I found a couple of sites trying to explain this:

http://www.netaxs.com/~nvweb/
http://www.context.org/index.html

With meditation and the reducing of the ego and the uncondicionalized living there are 
too much to do, and I am not the example of a liberated one.
