Mindset: USA vs. Europe
I am going to talk about the root of creation and the philosophy that gives the meaning of life to a country.
In the end, it is the culture that makes a country, and this is created by the people who make it up.
Winning Mindset Philosophy.
Nothing is chance, if it is causality.
The United States is not the best economy in the world by chance or sheer luck, it is causality.
Europe is not in the background and will be even further down the wrong path in the future.
The characteristic emotional trait of most Europeans is the feeling that man belongs to the State, as a property that can be used and disposed of, according to his natural, metaphysically determined destiny.
A typical European may disapprove of a given state and rebel, trying to establish another that he supposes will be better, like a slave seeking a better master to serve; but the idea that he is the sovereign and the government his servant has no emotional reality in his consciousness.
He regards service to the State as an extreme moral endorsement, as an honor, and if he were told that his life is an end in itself, he would feel insulted, rejected or lost.
Entire generations were raised on the statist philosophy and act accordingly, having implanted it in their minds from the earliest, most formative years of their childhood.
A typical American can never fully grasp that kind of feeling.

He is an independent entity.
The popular expression of protest “being run over” is emotionally unintelligible to Europeans, who believe that being run over is their natural condition.
Emotionally, an American has no concept of service (or servitude) to anyone.
A popular American expression says:
“Isn't my money as good as other people's?”
It would not be popular in Europe: a fortune, to be good, must be old and derived from the special favor of the State; to a European, money earned by personal effort is something tawdry, savage, or somewhat dishonest.
Americans admire achievement; they know what it costs.
Europeans regard the achievement with envy and cynical suspicion.
Envy is not a widespread emotion in America (not yet); it is an overwhelmingly dominant emotion in Europe.
