Currently the preferred places to live are the cities, since there you can find a variety of residences such as housing developments, buildings, among others. It is valid and completely acceptable that we want to live in a place where we have access to services, be near a hospital or possibly enjoy some art schools that the city can provide, and is that human beings want to feel comfortable, protected and satisfied in the place where we live. However, there is a latent danger in cities, and that is that if we are not careful we can stop enjoying the beauty that nature offers us.
I recently traveled to a small town where there is a great deficiency in terms of services, such as electricity, it is not that there is no electricity but during the day it can be out for four to five hours approximately, it is a bit stormy because the heat is sometimes relentless. In addition to this, the internet service is very weak, however, when I decided to concentrate on nature I was fascinated by the beautiful sunsets and the various flowers that adorn the place.
Being in the village made me reflect on many things, although it is true that there are no buildings, there are no luxurious houses but the hospitality shown by the local people, accompanied by the sublime beauty that nature provides greatly compensates for any lack that may affect me. Once again I have proven that we do not need much to live, we will have just enough if we learn to identify what really matters in life. The affection of family and friends, the smell of a real home, the sky as a background of unique sunsets, are things that are priceless and that bring me a lot of peace of mind.
Few are the people who have the opportunity to choose where to live, some are in the city because they have grown up there, as is my case, and others simply grew up in the countryside, but both those who have grown up in the city and those who have grown up in the countryside can be happy if we allow the essence of the human being to prevail over everything that takes us away from nature, I thank God almighty for the opportunity to have been in that town. My stay there has reminded me that there are still human beings who have their feet on the ground and who do not believe they are immortal because of the possessions they have.
It should be noted that, unfortunately, some inhabitants of the town do not value the riches they have. Fortunately there are very few who do not see them, but I was able to talk to some who wish to move to the city and it is not that this desire is wrong, but by focusing on the supposed comforts of an urbanized area they have failed to appreciate the treasures they have.
As I mentioned before, they are very few and the truth is that it makes me sad that they cannot see even though they have a wonderful possession in front of them, namely life, family, love and a nature that catches you with its splendor. Back to my city I take my suitcase, and a myriad of landscapes embedded in my mind that will accompany me in turbulent days to make my soul find again the tranquility I found in that town.
