To Live in The City or In The Countryside

May 20th 2008 21:28
Many people think that countryside have much less stuffs in it than the cities, but actually when we think of it, it may not really matter. We can all still live and survive without all these complex sophisticated 'toys' we have in cities, the only thing that really matters is happiness.

countryside
France, Dordogne, Domme
city
Singapore, Singapore River



Nevertheless, i believe in philosophy of balance. If one live too simple life for too long, one will suffer
dullness, if one live too sophisticated life too long, one also will suffer exhaust. One should avoid any of the extreme. Everything lives in cycles and unending dynamics, just like depicted in the Chinese Yin/Yang cosmology, "When one color has grown to its largest expression, the other color begins." Suffering comes when we do not follow its natural course, either by ourselves choosing to remain stagnant in ignorance of its natural course or by moving away opposing its direction or by moving too far ahead before the right course begins.


In anyway, both the cosmopolitan life and countryside life do have its own innate goodness stored in there, what matters is for us to tap into the happiness stored in the every moment of our being.

What do you think?

I used to live in the country and moved to the city. After all the concerts, pro games and cultural events, I THINK I'm ready to move back!!! There's one thing you don't have in the country---traffic!
