I Come From A Small Town

In a town many places are your home, the mall where i visit, they ask me how am i how is life but they rarely give discounts.
The bank i visit, there i sit and talk and drink tea, bank people are like family,though i am shy of them


In a village, every place is your home, i have lived there too the 5000m high mountains was my home, i owned a private lake too till tourists ruined itshops were mine, people were almost like community, the 500 year old temple was mine, the 1.5MW hydroproject was mine as every one wanted me to be there๐Ÿ˜…


But in a city, not many people know you, you dont own most of thingsplaces you feel lonely and you join EP and SW to feel community. I lived in a family of 10, city had 3 million people, every park, garden and even people's time was paid

I think you are quite right. I read recently that in 1920 94% of Americans lived in the country on farms or in very small towns. In 2010 almost 81% lived in cities.

Even if the people in a small town that belongs to you drive you crazy sometimes when they are nosy or petty, still they are YOUR irritating people. You know what to expect. You know where to go for help if you need it. You know how to help others if they need it.

Ironically, the closer we gather together the lonelier we feel.
