I will add also that a lot the feelings we get about current affairs which causes one to seek solace in another country. I think comes from the massive bombardment of highly accessible media drama. Like any car crash we tend to slow down to look at the carnage. Break that habit and life is good again. Understand we can’t change the world or what we see on TV. We can only be responsible towards those around us.

That IMO is why I think a lot of expats will say it’s so much better. Because they no longer see lr hear the nonsense any where near as much.

For example when I lived in Panama we got our news from Armed Forces Radio Television Service. On the weekdays broadcast began at 3pm and ended right at midnight with the National Anthem. News coverage was no hype, no drama editorials and opinions, low key, straight to the point, professional, designed to keep everyone calm and in high spirits yet still very informative. Years later when I moved back to the States. I turned on the TV and I thought to myself what hell just happened? From the time it took me fly from Panama City to New Orleans I thought the world was coming to an end. The news scared the hell out of me I kid you not. But soon realized it’s just how they make money.

Something to consider I guess.
