my favourite quote from atomic habits by James clear;
"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting
something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment"
If a man's testosterone dropped to menopausal levels overnight...He'd be hospitalized. But when a woman loses her progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone, has a sluggish thyroid & insulin resistance? She's told to go vegan, do more cardio & take magnesium. Meanwhile, her metabolism tanks, joints ache, and brain fog sets in. This isn't wellness. It's medical gaslighting.

This is called Geopolitical Cartography. I devoted a full section of my book on this issue.
Pakistan was earlier clubbed under "AfPak" because of its front line role in the US War on Terror that ruined Pakistan's economic indicators, and now it has been lumped with MENA which is a highly volatile region.
Here is a GDP growth rate comparison of the regions:
South Asia: 5-7%
Middle East: 1-4% (high volatility)
By involving itself too deep into the geopolitical mess of the Middle East, including defense agreements, loan payments, and personalized services, the ruling regime has sacrificed long term stability, growth and sovereignty for a short-term international relevance.
