this is kind of in response to johns post but its more a parallel. it is NOT the PLACE that you are PHYSICALLY. land is land. buildings are buildings. it is WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE DOING in these places that matters. if you are going somwhere else to look for SOMETHING BETTER than look no further because happiness is right in front of you. all you have

the thing that i don't understand is how some people feel that they are more important of a person or as part of a job if they were doing so in a city. many of the people i go to school with are desperate to have a life and a career in a city, but as you said, buildings are buildings, but sometimes cities are mirages.

when i'm in boston, i am 100% overwhelmed and get semi-depressed when i see different people walking around, tall buildings, and stores galore, and yet when i'm at home in west virginia, i feel less cultured. it's a weird thing to experience. one part of me is pulled to the fact that i'm experienced in living "off the land" and with the bare minimum and the other part of me is jealous that i'm not more cultured and experienced with diversity.

i think this goes back to the conversation about how people treat others differently depending on where they live.
would a person living in boston, visit west virginia and realize how unfriendly and uncaring they are to the world and go back to boston and change their perspective completely? who knows.

the social/emotional influence that large buildings and city lights have on human beings is astounding/interesting.
