Contrarily from the countryside, in the city there is a lot of entertainment. You can go out clubbing, or you can go to the cinema, you can rent some dvd's and watch them at home. You can even stay at home and download the same movie!.
But it's not all about entertainment, it's also important how you get to it. The public transportation service works almost all day, so does the subway. You can reach almost any place you want at almost anytime.
Do you feel like hungry? "The fast food saves us enough time to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it." After a long day of work or school the last thing you want to do is to cook. You don't want to waste time on that. Time that you could spend on shopping! you can get yourself some new clothes or a new watch so check what time it is with more style. You can buy even more DVDs to watch! Shopping is fun!
In the city everything is at hand, you can get whatever you want, whenever you want it. Perhaps, that's why we -people living in the city- are so stressed out and sick. We get whatever we want, whenever we want it. So when we don't get what we want, when we want it, we get upset. We have become so used to 'instantaneousness' that everything becomes disposable, even relationships. We treat people like objects, that's to say we relate to people in the way that they can be useful for us, what they can do for us rather than the affection that we could have for the person. Say "bye bye, I don't need you anymore" in just one click.
This instantaneousness, this necessity for things and for getting these things right away, is making us all sick and increasingly less human.
