To people who are considering moving abroad you should do it.

Don't let nationalism stop you. You were randomly born in your country.

Choose your country. Don't let randomness and some emotional baggage control where you want to live.

You have a finite live. Make most of it.

Do you really consider family connections and decades-long friendships to be "some emotional baggage"?

This essay was on someone who had the opportunity to live abroad (US, Japan, Sweden) and decided to live in India. The essay answers the question of why he, personally, has decided to not move abroad again.

The reason? "I think people should live where they are the happiest", which for him is family and friendship - or what you might describe as "emotional baggage."
