Modern life is boring and uninspiring
Thomas Jefferson's quote "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery" has become more relatable if this is going to be most people's lives for 40 years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_sIx2k3xz0&feature=emb_title

The human soul strives for adventure yet here we are doing the same routine day in and dayout, not knowing how to escape this prison. If not a small minority who actually love their jobs, people either lie to themselves they're ok with this lifestyle or just kill themselves. Nobody truly wants to live this predictable BS. I think dying in a more dangerous era would be much better if it meant I lived a meaningful life.

inb4 "You have no idea how good you have it"; "Quit complaining", etc.

It's more than just education. It's an entirely different lifestyle. A slower, often more chill one. But also often stuck in its ways.
You're romanticizing it, giving it the old generalization of cliche treatment. Rurality is neither slower nor chill. But it's definitely different. Most ppl wanna leave.

I'm definitely not romanticizing it. I never liked it in the first place, so there's no nostalgia. I'm rather happy I managed to move away.

Romanticizing by writing that it's "slower, more chill." Rural people often have high levels of stress that cause all sorts of problems. Also, ignorance or lack of proper education is deadly.

Not sure if this counts but I did live in a small english village that was in the country side back in the late 1990's too early 2000's. All I can say is that my life was peaceful and the people who lived there were very well education and seemed stress free and chilled (from what I could gather).

But I did come from a council estate were poverty was rife, so it was a totally different lifestyle. Sadly, the cost of living there was way too much for my earning and had to move out.

But one thing I did notice tho, is that the young wanted to get out and move to the big towns/cities while the early middle to late aged and older people loved it.

Now houses prices there are touching from 300k uptoo 1 million pounds and only the rich and well off can afford to live in old english villages now

That's ironic coming from someone who enslaved people. People overuse the word "slavery." Like the idiots who screech about how wearing a facemask equals "slavery" and the "holocaust."

If you don't like routine then change it. If you don't like your job then get a different job. Don't expect everything to be simply given to you.

If you want to live in ye olden times, then go find some wilderness and go live in it. If you're tired of hum drum office work then find a feudal lord to go be a serf for. Or more realistically, if you want to live dangerously then join the military and pursue special forces training. The recruiter's offices in your town is likely open right now. Go right on ahead.

Although I am not sure whether council estates in the countryside count as rural, I appreciate your recollection. A calm memory. :machine_lifeform:

It's less hustle and bustle due to population density or lack of it. So I get why people call it slower and chill. A few people walking about versus a flow of a steady stream of hundreds of people in city. We still had access to weed a ex girlfriend dad used to grow it back in the day.

What I was saying, I grew up living on a council estate in a big town. In my early 20's I moved to the country side to live with my then partner.

Now I live in greater manchester area were the people here are barking mad :steamsad: But I do wish I could afford to live in the countryside again, sadly I need to win the lotto to be able too.

Forget society, society is lost. Focus on yourself, your health, your hobbies, your family, your friends and the beauty of nature. We tend to focus on society, mainly its problems, and forget about how nature is everything.
