The heart of the earth: Why country life is better than city life
Author(s): Aayansh Pandey
Abstract: This paper explores the contrasting lifestyles of rural and urban living, focusing on the significant benefits of country life over the fast-paced, stressful environment of the city. Drawing inspiration from the works of John Burroughs and Mahatma Gandhi, the research delves into the physical, emotional, and environmental advantages of rural life. It highlights the peace and tranquillity, cleaner air, stronger community ties, and reduced stress levels found in the countryside, comparing these to the overwhelming noise, pollution, and alienation often experienced in urban areas. The paper also emphasizes the profound connection between human well-being and nature, with rural areas offering an environment conducive to health, mental well-being, and community harmony.
