The Aggression of Big Cities
I have the privilege of living in a small town and I like that.
Some people prefer to live in big cities. In fact, millions of
people prefer to do so. Living in a big city has its benefits;
you have more opportunity for everything: a great cultural life
to participate in, restaurants to go to, stores to shop, and
more people to watch and communicate with. Also, big cities are
the best places to find that perfect job and get a lot of money
if one chooses to do so.
Though those are certainly great benefits, attached to them is
the stress of living in an aggressive place. One needs to look
no farther than your surroundings to see what I mean.
For example, I went to San Francisco the other day and while
having a snack in a café, I noticed that there was a bus stop
right in front of the window where I was seated. Being an
admirer of people, I decided to pay attention to those coming
and going.
Within 5 minutes, I saw a young man passing by with a t-shirt
that said "Masturbation is not a crime;" another man waiting for
the bus holding a brown paper bag and drinking from it; a woman
getting out of a bus, with a baby in her arms and picking up a
folded stroller from the bus and opening it up to put the baby
in, with an absolute lack of help from another person; a couple
dressed in "gothic," and a thin dog, walking alongside a
homeless man pushing a shopping cart with his few belongings in
it.
Now, if this isn't a depressing view, I
don't know what is. And
that got me thinking about the natural aggression that comes
with living in such places. The problem is, however, that few
people realize how this aggression is changing them, from caring
human beings to cold-hearted, desensitized people. This change
is obviously not conscious; it is rare the person who is truly
indifferent to his surroundings.
This desensitization is comparable with those medical people
working in hospitals, who, for example, see so much pain and
suffering that, if they didn't put a barrier to their feelings,
they would probably go insane. It is true that we walk around a
big city and see tons of small acts of aggression, perhaps not
geared to others but to oneself.
It is necessary, then, for us to become aware of the aggression
that we suffer by living in such places and learn to cope with
it, so that we may bring our souls to remember that we are
divine beings and thus deserving of having peace of mind,
physical safety, and emotional balance.
