In the discussion on how to create a viable and sustainable Israel, one needs to see examples of virtue and things that really work.
At least this is how Bhutan is figuring things out.
Let me explain. 50 years ago Bhutan had rates of illiteracy through the roof. A small kingdom in the Himalayas with few resources.
Not anymore. Today it is booming and it’s going forward. New tech, people are educated, things have been turned around. From no resources to a bright future.
What did they do? They learned from the best.
Who are the best? Currently it’s Denmark and Finland that top the lists if the most happy countries in the world.
It’s not that Bhutan is without enemies. It’s a small country with powerful neighbors around it. So they are right to be careful.
But instead of fighting all the time, they keep a low profile.
It’s a beautiful place, and they have a young and amazing king.
It’s really something.
That is how you make a brighter future. You learn from the best examples.
Now Israel has the challenge that it’s situated in a difficult spot. Surrounded by powerful countries.
But we can learn how to make this work.
Bhutan is an interesting example, they have survived for hundreds of years.
And they and so positive and sympathetic.
G-d bless the amazing king of Bhutan his majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
