> Although I agree with it I think that small towns have something that is lost in big cities which is the sense of community, and that is simply because in towns you know every single person that has some impact in your daily live. My family is from a small town who moved to the city right before I was born and there is something my mom said to me when I was a kid that got stuck in my mind which is the awareness of death, in big cities is like people don't die because you don't know about it. Cities have plentiful and varied communities, but it's easier to be lost in the masses. Many people lose empathy amongst so many other humans, or so some claim. I was raised in a small town. Every coin has its other side. "Every single person has an impact on your life." Certainly if the community disapproves of your appearance, skin color, or religion, they can ostracize you, they'll each take turns with their individual impact to turn your life to shit. Small towns can be bucolic, beautiful, and communal, however your mileage may vary dramatically from in-group to in-group and tribe to tribe. Beware your own scarlet letter, whether it's your skin color, religion, or otherwise. > Although it may sound macabre I think that knowing about death helps me better understand being alive. Wise words.
