Village life is better than city life

Study of brain activity shows it struggles to process complex urban landscapes. On the other hand, the brain does less processing when looking at rural landscapes. The study which used an MRI scanner to monitor brain activity adds to a growing body of evidence that natural environments are good for humans, affecting mental and physical health and even levels of aggression. Reference: http://www.independent.co.uk... Stress management: The brains of people who live in cities react more strongly to stress than those who live in small towns and rural areas, a new study shows. The study may help explain why mood disorders like depression and mental illness like schizophrenia are more common in city dwellers than in those living in less densely populated areas. The above study is published in the journal Nature. Anecdotally, the link between cities, stress and mental health makes sense. Psychiatrists know that stress can trigger mental disorders - and modern city life is widely perceived as stressful. City dwellers typically face more noise, more crime, more slums and more people jostling on the streets than do those outside urban areas. Those who have jobs complain on growing demand on them in the workplace, where they are expected to do much more in less time. Reference: www.nature.com/news/stress-and-the-city-urban-decay-1.11556 You said that simplicity of the village life is of no benefit. Now you should realize that your statement was baseless. Furthermore, Stress of urban life hinders emotional development. People become robotic and mechanical. Urban dwellers are more related to robotic science and less related to psychology. They lose the ability to love of feel emotion. Neighbours living under same roof don't know each other in urban society. Social relationship and responsibilities are very poor. If you face any problem in a road, let's say if you are attacked by robbers, urban passers-by are less likely to help you. But in villages, in this case, you must get help from passers-by. You said that a person is more likely to find his perfect match in cities. But let's see. As mentioned before, urban life hinders emotional development, there is no considerable emotional attachment in many urban marriages. Marriage becomes a contract. According to United Nation's Demographics and Social Statistics Division, urban areas have the highest divorce rate in developed countries, much higher than rural areas (apart from underdeveloped countries like African countries). The statistics also says that Adultery/Infidelity rate is much higher in urban areas in developed countries (except underdeveloped countries). Urban people are having most causual sex. And urban people have the highest rate of HIV (in developed countries). You are less likely to find a virgin girl in urban areas. Virginity may not be a big deal to you, but still it's a big deal to many guys. It's also a big deal for remaining safe from STDs. You said that a person can find perfect match in cities. But actually what they can find in cities is a cheating partner. Adultery/infidelity rate is pretty high in urban areas. And there have been many reports that people got HIV from a cheating partner. Yes, this is the worst thing that can happen. Is this called perfect match!!! You said that city life is safer than village life. But your reference has too many weakness. As mentioned before, criminal activities are more likely to happen in cities. And not only car accidents, any type of accident is more likely to happen in cities. About car accidents, cities have a huge traffic of vehicles. So logically car accidents are more likely to happen in cities. What about non stop environmental pollution in cities. Will you still say that city life is safer. You are more likely to develop health problems in cities. Once in a capital city of a country, nearly 80% of people got respiratory problems as a result of air pollution. City life is like life in prison: In cities, there's not a inch of land remained free. You live in a prison like building. There's not enough lands for walking, running, swimming. There's not enough lands for playing games for children. Today in prison, you get everything that a city dweller have. But you don't get that a village dweller have. It's freedom. The natural freedom. As mentioned in first round, you will enjoy the extream natural beauty, natural fruits in villages. City life is fixed and routined. There's lack of freedom. It's boring. And you can develop mental illness from it. Today we have schools in villages. But we have to go to cities for higher education. But after that we must come back to our village. It's the real beauty of life. And today we have career opportunities in villages also. Money isn't everything. Bill Gates isn't the happiest. But if you really want to be Bill Gates, it's better to go to city. But general people want happiness in life.
