How to Cope with Big Cities' Aggression
The biggest benefit of living in big cities is that there is
just too many of everything good: theatres, concert halls,
restaurants, stores, bookstores, cafés, libraries, associations,
offices, schools, diversity, parties, recreational places, and
so on.
On the other side of the coin, the biggest problem of living in
big cities is that, of course, the city is too big. There is
also too many of everything not so good, i.e., things that can
potentially be an aggression to your soul: cars, workers,
people, constructions, lights, buses, taxis, subways,
telephones, people talking on telephones, noise, visual and air
pollution, billboards, stores, apartment buildings, roads--big
and small--criminals, gangs, traffic and traffic lights,
honking, tiny apartments, cockroaches and other pesky critters,
elevators, power lines, garbage, sewage, abandoned animals,
beggars, graffiti, and so on.
I used to live in one. For strange life circumstances, I don't
anymore, and I am tremendously grateful for that, because, every
time I go to a big city, my heart sinks at the sight of so much
aggression towards my soul. It is not that I don't like to face
reality, but there are realities that can be avoided altogether.
It is just like listening to the news or reading the newspapers:
what a difference are we going to make in view of so much
corruption, violence, and aggression in this world? I think our
power to make a difference is extremely limited, so, on my part,
I avoid it and do the little I can do, just like Mother Theresa
preached: do your small part.
Now, if you are living in a big city, how can you cope with
seeing so much
ugliness? Here are my suggestions:
1. Leave the city entirely. If I changed from being a big city
woman to being a small town one, so can you. I am no better or
braver than you. Of course, it requires some planning and
adjustment, but it is totally viable.
2. Make a heaven out of your dwellings. Paint the walls with a
smooth color; have flowers and plants to greet you when you get
home, hang posters or painting of beautiful art.
3. Wake up with soothing music, or music from nature. Forget the
news, at least upon waking up.
4. If you don't travel much and are good with animals, adopt a
couple of cats to embrace you in your quiet moments. As a bonus,
you will have a lot of fun enjoying their playing. It is
important to have a couple so they can keep company to each
other when you are at work.
5. Have a little corner of your house where you can set up a
little "refuge." Have a comfortable chair, some candles and
incense, pictures of people and places you love, or anything
else that refills your soul with the acknowledgement of the
wonder of your being.
Even though you don't notice a big difference in yourself, your
soul will thank you for it.
