“I am not okay,” I said. “I have to confess that I am not okay.”
“Are you angry with them?”
“No, I am not angry with them; I am just not okay with myself.”
I knew that Robert didn’t understand; hence, I explained after I drank a hot passion tea.
“Actually since the beginning, that company already said that my location is not eligible to apply for monetization on their website. Because I wanted money, I changed the location to get permission to get my videos monetized. They know; they know that I lied, but they still allow it. Before I didn’t understand, but now I understand - like the Buddha said about karma, we are the ones who are responsible for our own actions. Because I lied to them by putting their own country as my location, I must pay tax according to their country’s tax law. A poor country pays tax to the rich country; can you imagine? It’s the reason that in order to get USD 100, I had to spend two years. Now, they add another tax; at first, I was angry with them, but after thinking, it is not their fault; it’s my own greed that kills me. They wanted me to learn my own lesson. It’s the result of me lying.”
“If you understand it, why are you not happy?”
“The unhappiness that I am having now is the punishment from my own doing.”
"Oh, I see." Robert wagged his head.
