Wow this is in fact true. Living in metropolitan cities has made us apathetic. There's something about small towns and villages that isn't there in cities. You have a sense of belonging and "kindred" feeling there but not in cities.

Your voice and identity gets lost in the ocean of voices and identities.

Lovely article! Chockful of interesting ideas and thoughts. I had an inkling that this was an academic paper.

Thanks for sharing this!
