Not all people in Europe and America are rich, but they have the basic necessities of life and they definitely have the protection of law and order which translates into peace and tranquility. They enjoy life to the fullest, as simple life is much happier than the complex and tiresome one which entails overheads.
What people need to be happy is essentially peace and tranquility, not wealth or riches. If people can get basic needs of life and if there is peace and security, that’s more than enough for most people to be happy. In the third world majority people cannot get the necessities of life, on top of that they have been denied peace and security. This has totally broken them down.
When we have feeling of insecurity then fear of loss of everything prevails. In such a chaotic society a common person cannot see a way out, this results in hopelessness, giving birth to extremism and radicalism. Leaders and rulers of such countries are totally corrupt and act as agents of destructive forces. They are there not to protect people and their interests rather to protect their own and their master’s interests.
This applies to both military and non-military leaders. Such leaders are in real terms Satan of the time because they make women sell their beloved babies, let kids starve to death and youth commit suicide. They make people suffer just because of their cruel and selfish rule. People want them to get out and leave them alone to live in peace and tranquility.
