Before you start complaining, take a moment to count your blessings

Before you start complaining, take a moment to count your blessings! Before we start being critical, let's take a moment to appreciate the positives in our lives. It's all too easy to focus on what we lack and to covet what others have. However, when we honestly examine our complaints, they often reveal their emptiness upon closer scrutiny. One should give the same level of consideration to our admiration of other countries, especially those with autocratic governments. Though they may seem alluring from a distance, it's essential to ask ourselves a critical question: which country has more people willing to risk their lives to migrate to, and why? Before advocating for an autocratic government for our own country, I suggest spending a significant amount of time there to understand the realities of daily life. This experience will shed light on the fact that not every citizen in those countries is privileged. By gaining this firsthand understanding, we can engage in more well-informed discussions about the merits of different governance systems, whether democracy or autocracy.
