Why it's better to live in American than anywhere else

A lot of folks across the globe do not view America with favor. But no matter how much disfavor they show, their hunger for everything American never really subsides. Their secret love for America lives on and they keep coming back to this land for a staggering number of reasons.

This is where the good grub is.

From curated cupcakes and unlimited refills to finger-lickin’ supersized burgers, American food spells B-I-G, affordable, and fast. The nation is also the home of varieties of culinary experimentation, like the world-famous cronut. All-you-can eat buffets proliferate in every street corner, which are uncommon in many countries.

There’s endless freedom everywhere.


“Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better,” Albert Camus once said. He proved his words right because so much about America is a result of the fight for freedom. There’s freedom of speech to freedom of religion. Not to mention the sheer number of what is legal in many states, which are unthinkable in several countries.

Things work based on convenience.


Having 24/7 pharmacies and drive-through fast food outlets is the standard in America. In other countries, this is impossible to have.

There’s unity in diversity.


America is a lodestone of different races, nationalities, religions, and genders. It attracts different people who, together, recognize various skills sets, orientation, backgrounds, and attitudes. This very same diversity encourages people to recognize things other than what they consider normal and usual. Putting one thing and another together, can create, generate, and innovate for the common good.
Once in a while, it’s nice to sit back and take pride in America and everything it offers. This veers the mind from inimical forces to focus on the good, instead.
