The World Around us

May 29, 2007 at 4:13 am · Filed under 22. on the street

Urbanites are amazing. One would think that in a metropolis of thousands/millions of people it would be impossible to not be connected to the people around you.

But it isn’t.

Increasingly depression is on the rise and part of its root is that people don’t feel a part of anything. When babies are born, there isn’t a community rallying around the new mother with meals, advice, childcare for older siblings. Somehow we lost something in gaining a million neighbours.

Yet at the same time we gained the benefits of the knowledge of artists around us, diversity in ideas and the opportunity to partake in a variety of different activities that smaller enclaves of people may not have the opportunity to experience.

My mama has always said that something has to give, what do you think?
