One the one hand, I was raised a country bumpkin and I hate people, society, 'progress' and 'civilisation'. I can't stand the thoughtless greed and detached superficiality that cityfolk seem to exhibit and I miss nature and fresh air.
On the other, I get bored quickly, I think it's downright wrong to have to get in a car to do achieve simple things like buying food, going to work, I hate the impact increased population sprawl has on greenspaces and I loathe the 'culture vacuum' outside of urban areas.
In sum, I'm 30 and I still don't know where I'd rather be. In the country - gardening and building wood-framed homes with the other villagers. Or a more singular, reasoned, slightly cramped lifestyle, with full access to everything, 24/365 (enjoyed, for the most part, from in front of a computer).
