Why being an outsider in a country helps us learn how to be better humans

We learn how to get support and give support to someone who is in a situation where they have no understanding of the ways of living, including what support systems are available.

Meaning we learn to spot what someone else does not know that we take for granted.

Eg: A woman from India in the US who does not know how to load the dishwasher.

A man from Kenya in India who does not know to remove his shoes before entering someone’s home.

An American in Mexico who does not understand evolved nests and therefore family culture.
