In my opinion I think the people who are better in this world are the tribes that are hidden from the rest of civilization, like in the Amazons. They are in peace, nobody bothers them. They preserve their own culture and beliefs. They have their own natural resources to be able to sustain. They have no stress. They don't have to wake up early to drive to work. etc etc.
If you were born again would you like to be born in the Amazon or be a person with many privileges but in a sad and sick stressful environment.?

You have only touched on some of the positives of living is such a culture. There are many negatives as well. Like having children who are forced to marry while still children, giving birth without medical attention and having ruptures which cause leakage of urine and bowel which a simple surgery could fix, yet they are cast out to live isolated lives alone. At eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old. They have superstitions which cause harm and great fears, they live in poverty with water which gets contaminated by urinating in it and having bowel movements in it, they do not have proper medical treatment or medication so their infant mortality rate is high which creates great grief with parents and family. The women are treated as second class citizens with the animals deemed more important, as a wife is more easily replaced than a cow. The list of negatives goes on and on.
Sure, if only the items you listed were the real conditions of living in the Amazon, it would be a great place to live. However, their are no true paradises in this world which have only positives and no negatives in the society.

I have been to the Amazon, and afterwards I went to Rio de Janeiro. I prefer the Amazon to the seaside community. The Amazon is quite expansive, yet, calm and relaxing. Rio, I don't know, I found it too mountainous, and the weather humid and hot. I felt claustrophobic in that city. The best time I had was fishing for piranhas. That was fun.
The reason I was in Brazil, the Amazon specifically was because my roommate went to an ayahuasca event. Ayahuasca is a very bitter root. It has no nutritional value, and people struggle with retching and gagging, while trying to swallow it down. After that process is done, those that have taken this root have their creativity heightened.
I could see myself born again living in nature somewhere in the Amazon. That's a cool place.

You mean like this tribe where they have sex with 9-11 year old baby girls? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=2&ObjectID=10390338
Or are you referring to the tribe in the Amazon where a boy can only reach manhood when he ingests the semen of an adult male?
You need to see a psychiatrist. I hope you don't work with children.
