They are dead wrong, life in rural area is all about having good relationship with your neighbors because people help each other there.
Maybe that's the case where you live. I've seen other places where everybody was at war with everybody else. Did you just say "idealized view of the countryside"?
Not so extreme, but I grew up bordering the country and it was very annoying sometimes. Dogs barking all night long, very difficult to filter that. Lots of flies, wasps and other bugs. And then little village big hell. Give me big city any time.
- Glawen 6y agoThere is always some issues among people and some nasty stuff can happen, but overall there is more mutual help than in the city. What I miss in the city is this kind of help easy to get by in a village, for example I cannot ask a farmer to remove a tree sump, I have to pay a professional to do it.
- whythre 6y agoI am curious about the phrase ‘little village, big hell.’ What does it mean, exactly?
- narag 6y agoEverybody knows about the life of everybody else. Everybody is ready to criticize you and mess in your business. Everybody believes they know you and you cannot change so you won't change. You are stuck with the same job and, often toxic, relations.
