Living in a Large Modern City or in the Country ?

“Avoid the rus h-hours”mu st be the slogan of large cities the world over . Whe rever you go , especially a t week-ends or on holidays , you’ll find that the tr ains a re packed , st reets crowded , buses queued , r estaurant tables shar ed . Mor eove r , the smallest unforeseen event like a powe r-cut , an exceptionally heavy s nowfall or r ainfall can bring about conditions of utter inconvenience and chaos .

City-dwellers ar e obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life . They lose touch with nature and all the simple , good things of life like sunshine and f resh air at apremium . Tall buildings block out the sun . Tr affic fumes pollute the atmospher e . T he flow of t raffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stop s .

The funny thing about it all in a large mode rn city is that you pay dea rly for the“ privilege”of living . The demand for accommodation is so gr eat that it is of ten impos sible for ordinary people to buy a house/ flat of their own . Fur the rmore , the cost of living is very high . Just about eve rything you buy is likely to be mor e expensive than it would be in the country .

In addition , city-dwellers live unde r constant threat . The crime ra te in most cities is very high . Houses are often bur -gled . Cities breed crime and violence and are full of places you would be afr aid to visit at night . If you thin k about it , they are not r eally fit to live in at all . Can anyone really doubt that the count ry is what man was born for and wher e he t ruly belongs?
