Obviously, there are two kinds of a nation- the one that is safe to stay with, and the other which is dangerous to live in. As inhabitants of this World, we naturally want to stay put in a place that’s is secure from any danger and loss. We don’t want to get harm, even any of our family members and kin, so that’s why we settle to somewhere free from any risks.
However, inevitably, there are places that is somehow less secure and is more inclined to danger; places where only hatred, conflicts and war often happens. Thus making the residents of those nation suffer from very large consequences of what their fellow countrymen is doing. Because of it, those countries are labeled in such negativity, and more people of the other side don’t want to visit and take a glimpse of them.
But although these countries are considered ‘dangerous’ rather than ‘safe’, they also have something to boast with- something that we can’t have and are beyond our eyes can see and experience. I want you to leave all of your assumptions and disregard all of the labels you have in your mind about these dangerous countries, and take a glimpse of the many beautiful places they have within them.
