Or not. What kind of general advice is this. It depends on so many factors - your age, marital status, how close you are to your family and culture. For many people, I think for the majority even, unless they live in a war torn area then staying put makes a lot of sense.

> Don't let randomness and some emotional baggage control where you want to live

Yes family and culture is an emotional baggage and we are emotional beings, we are not robots. Most people care to a certain degree about those things.

If staying makes sense then stay. If you want to move then move. My argument is don't let random beliefs and emotions stand in between.
Yeah family and culture are not random beliefs and emotions for most people as many commenters here said. I think you have a very rare outlook on this that isn't right for most people.
