So you think it’d be wise for me to quit the high paying “dream” job I have that I can’t do overseas, sell the home that fits my needs in every way, and leave behind all of my family and friends for somewhere I have no ties or community? And if I don’t do so without hesitation, I’m refusing to acknowledge reality?
You may be right, but it sure doesn’t seem as easy as all that. Maybe that points out what some Germans got: maybe not things getting better, necessarily, but the ability to keep a certain amount of the status quo and not take a huge risk on an uncertain future in a strange land.
