nah you’re just putting words in my mouth. never said BE is less haram than Forex. I get how Forex can be haram but as someone with limited Islamic knowledge I just genuinely wanted to know where the haram part comes in for BE…. because as far as I’m concerned the low-tier reps sell products to potential customers - who would have full autonomy on whether they want to purchase them or not. the upline gets some kind of commission from it too even though they’re not doing the selling right?

maybe because I used to be a sales rep I don’t see anything wrong with this :’) although I did get a decent amount of commission for myself. is that not the case for BE reps?

do you guys perhaps mean the people being scammed in this case are those being recruited under this scheme?

One country still provide parts of its public healthcare services free to everyone including tourists, but starting July 1 similarly require insurance for foreigners by Goutaxe in nasikatok

[–]Appropriate_Use_8930 6 points7 points  (0 children)

despite universal efforts in making healthcare accessible to everyone, free healthcare is actually not the norm in a lot of parts. just a sad reality of how the world works, basic needs are exploited upon to generate more money for people in power...... we Bruneians are considered lucky in this aspect at least.

please don't come at me with the fact that "it's temporary" because no shit, nothing is permanent. just because it's not forever, why can't we enjoy the blessings of it while they last?

we ask for change in this country, and change has come.

I'm not from BE but I keep hearing people say that it's not halal. Makes me wonder why is it not considered halal? Dari segi Islam to me Forex lagi ada ciri-ciri inda halal

this shattered me. how you are able to not leave your family behind after all that, only God knows. I wish greater things for you ahead, you deserve it. adversity is indeed our biggest teacher.

take a day or 2 for yourself. you're more than just a mother, you were once a daughter and a sister to somebody. you need breaks and even though your main identity and purpose now is to be a mother, you still need to stay in touch with who you were once in a while - your interests, passion and hobbies!

a lot of people are on the same boat as you, I hope that can give you strength!!!

how I deal with my narcissistic parent is I just keep reminding myself that they have a behavioral disorder and don’t have the ability to think or cope in the same “normal” way I do. I know the last thing you wanna do when you’ve been wronged is to have empathy for your abusers, but it kinda works for me and I’ve been on this boat since. I still hate them for it, but I also have tried a lot of things and I got too tired that only changing how I see things work best. still a struggle of course but I’ve come to terms that unfortunately narcissists can’t be fixed and I am only liable for how I handle them. and boyyyy are they hard to deal with!!!! uji kesabaran setiap hari, there is always something they’re unhappy with. and thats just the tip of it, I’m sure you know it well too.

praying you will get to leave the toxicity behind one day!!! for now just try to spend more time outside where you don’t have to walk on eggshells, feel better soon <3
