10 Things Only People Who Used To Live In The Villages Would Understand by realjoker(m): 10:20am On Jun 08, 2015
Urbanization has been for years the main trend around the
world. Most people who were born in villages rush into
modern cities. Obviously, there exist great differences
between village lifestyle and city lifestyle. It’s hard to say
which one is better. Neither of them is above the other.
Living in a city often means higher salary, more
opportunities, more commodity options, more education
resources, better medical care, and so on. However, these
things are gradually being available in villages nowadays.
On the contrary, there are a lot of things only people who
used to live in villages would understand. People that have
never been to villages couldn’t get the real beauty of village
lifestyle.
HERE ARE LOTS OF AVAILABLE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR
UNDERGRADUATES & POSTGRADUATES
1. You take fresh air everyday
If you haven’t lived in villages, you could not image how
fresh the air is. There’s no automobile exhaust, drainage
ditches, smelly waste… While you almost have to wear a
breathing mask to go out in city life, you take fresh air every
day from dawn to dark by living in villages.
2. You can live a peaceful and quiet life
The city is always busy and noisy. There are a lot of
vehicles and people in the road. Noises come from
everywhere: traffic noises, industrial noises, construction
building noises, and noises from your neighbors and living
area. However, in villages, you never need to worry about
these noises. You could get deep sleep at night and enjoy a
quiet stroll at daytime.
3. You eat fresh, green and clean vegetables
All food needs to be purchased from supermarket or local
malls if you live in a city. To eat fresh vegetables, you have
to get up early and rush into the market. However, the
situation is totally different if you live in villages. You could
grow various kinds of vegetables by yourself. You control
the fertilizing and pesticide to make sure the vegetables are
green and clean.
4. You spend less in villages
Undoubtedly, living costs in villages are much lower. The
price of commodities is lower in villages than that of city
lifestyle. That means to purchase the same quantity of a
commodity, you spend less money in village lifestyle. Also,
since there are less consumer options, you could make a
big saving to keep your money stayed.
5. You will never feel alone
Most people living in cities would have the same feeling:
they’re surrounded by people only 10 meters away, but they
feel alone. There’s little communication between neighbors,
and friends may be tens of kilometers away. To kill
loneliness, they watch movies online, play online games, go
out for a short travel… However, while living in villages, you
will never feel alone. Every morning you could say hi to your
neighbors and you may live within only 20 feet away from
your friends. You meet strangers everywhere in a city but
the whole village is not strange to you at all.

6. You do more physical exercise
While there are a lot of traffic tools that could save physical
exercise in cities, life in villages can be very physical. Every
activity in village life requires physical exercise, like working
with the land, sowing seeds into the land, chopping and
collecting wood for the winter, walking along old path, or
going to a nearby shop. It is said that a thirty minutes active
walk will tone your system for the next 4 hours, while village
life produces more opportunities for you to do more than a
thirty-minute active walk.
7. You can embrace a beautiful night sky
With the industrial pollution, what you can see in city nights
are only sparking lights from various houses, traffic lights,
vehicle lights and street lamps, but not stars and moon on
the sky. However, in village area, you could embrace a
clean and beautiful night sky with thousands of stars
twinkling. In a moonlit night, you could see far away from
your house roof and everything is so clear and clean in your
eyes.
8. You’re not obsessed with trends
When you’re living in a city, you need to check whether your
clothes are fashionable or not before you go out as others
might laugh at you for being out of fashion. You might be
easily driven by hot topics like stocks, gossips, Hollywood
movies or stars, cars… even though you don’t like these
things. But you would never get driven to these by your
village friend circles. You could live as simple and freely as
you like.
9. You don’t have to worry about parking
If you have a car, you will know how difficult it is to find a
paid parking spot in crowded cities, not even to say a free
parking spot! However, if you used to live in villages, you
will know how easy it is to find a free and easy parking
space. There’s no traffic police who writes a ticket and then
mails it to you in villages for a roadside parking. There’s no
traffic light and no traffic jam.
10. You are safer in villages
The huge pressure of city life makes a lot of people
corrupted. There are lots of crimes in the city. Many thefts
and murders often take place in the city. Meanwhile, there
are much more vehicles in city, which results in frequent
traffic accidents. While in villages, few traffic accidents
happen. Another element that brings danger to you is
epidemic disease, most of which extend from one city to
another city. People living in cities are more vulnerable to
many diseases because of the sedentary lifestyle and fast
food intake. These things become less possible in villages.
What other things do you think that are only understood by
people who used to live in villages? Share with us below.

Dnt believe all this 10 tongue

Cos nowadays lots of villages re busy fighting over one land filled with natural resources or farm land.. so one can barely find peace there, most occupant who can't fight or have the money have fled the village.... And this also cancel the argument about having a safer life.. u can asked people in NE villages how far now


The issue of green and cleaner vegetable reminds me of a friends village that I visited and we had to go to the nearest town to buy vegetables for soup.. and more over village people careless about hygienic both in food and environment .

Hmmm that of spending less SMH. is actually not true, food,building,and items are being but from the nearest town, imagine the adding an extra cost(TP cost) to the cost of goods to be sold

Witches are very common in most villages undecided. More reason why mist people don't usually travel to their village.

Village is good sha wink. Plus You can get fresh, naturally beautiful and humble babes in the village grin.

I was about subscribing to the aforementioned points before I realised the saying that witches are plenty in the village.

Anyway, I'm proudly a village-city boy.
