If You Don't Like It So Much, Why are You Here?


It astounds me to come across individuals who hate a country so much, yet continue to spend years and years of life in that country. They complain about how backwards and inept the people/systems of that country are and how superior/progressive their own country is, yet continue to spend their life in the "inferior" country. I don't understand that. If Korea, for example, is such a dreadful place, why are you here? Most will cite a paycheck as their reason and to that I say, So what? You can find work in your home country, probably better opportunities compared to Korea and yet you still find an excuse to stay here? If your life is so bad in Korea, you should leave. Ultimately, you chose to stay here and if your life is that miserable, it is your fault. At some point, you need to take responsibility for your own experience. Either make the most of your life in Korea or go elsewhere. It's your choice.
