The nature of villages makes them
healthy and better for our overall well-being. Pollution, toxins and noise is rarity
in villages. A great peace of mind is achievable from villages – no traffic
gridlock, less number of rude people and low crime rate.
In cities, everyone is your
friend but no one is really your friend when you need it. You do not know your
neighbours well enough and child predators are more likely to be hidden in
cities. Villages offer the best of friendship-friendship that is not based on
material things but mutual respect and love. Everyone knows everyone in
villages; this makes it hard for criminals to hide in villages. Every mother
watches out for all the children in villages – this means you do not have to
worry much when you leave your child home alone, there would be enough eyes
watching over that child.
Foods are relatively cheaper and
you get to attend events without spending much (uh by events I mean funerals,
naming ceremony, cultural festivals, weddings and anniversaries). You are not
on heat to spend much on clothes and gifts – villagers are small spenders.
When you lack meat for food,
there will be someone who just killed a goat or fowl and he is likely to share
with you. Fruits are bountiful and free – they are in your compound, your
kinsman and relative’s compounds. We all know how good fruits are for our
health. You are less likely to worry in villages – you don’t see the latest
Ferrari or the most modern of houses – nothing to make you feel inadequate and
poorer than others.
You may not agree because
material things have beclouded your judgement but villages offer as much in
better life as they do witches (the latter is highly debatable).
