NOSTALGIA FOR A SIMPLER TIME: Why Kuwait’s Yesterday was Better than Today
Channel: The Kandari Chronicles
Date: 2023-05-28

From its independence in 1961, Kuwait experienced a golden age of prosperity that was marked by unity among its people. This period saw the rise of Kuwait as a major player in the global oil market, with the country using its newfound wealth to build modern infrastructure, provide quality healthcare and education, and invest in its people. 

But this age of energy and ambition to become the best version of themselves disappeared upon the invasion of Kuwait. The time for selflessness and country above the individual was over. The era of privilege took over. 

Today, Kuwaitis remember their golden age with pride but with sorrow as well. Sorrow that those days are long gone and as more time passes by, the memories and successes of those days wither into eternity.
