Everything is this world has its own merits and demerits. Nothing is perfect in this world. Perfection lies only in God. So, tow n life and country life have also their own advantages and dis: advantages. Things, pleasures, scenes, entertainments and recreations which one finds in cities are not available in country side and vice versa.
There goes a saying that “God first made the country and then the city came.” This sums up the belief that even resides in villages, in a country-side. Why? Because villages and country-side breathe the fresh air of Nature, the cool breeze. The villagers get fresh vegetables and get which is nourishing. Moreover, a village is free from the din and dust, noise and clamor, smoke and heat of the cities. A village is near to Nature and thus nearer to God. The village people are innocent and lead a simple life. They are not aware of the practices which go in towns and cities. A village is the very embodiment of simplicity and a symbol of God’s bountifulness.
The country-side is superior to town in many other ways. The lush-green fields, the vast meadows, the groves of trees, the lovely landscapes, the farmers working in their fields, reaping the crops and chirping of birds are scenes and sights at once elevating and cheerful. Peace which is found in the villages, urban people can never think of it. Simplicity is there everywhere in the villages. Their lives are very simple. They live like a family. They have common pleasure and grief.
But there are certain other things which one does not get in villages. These can only be found in towns, cinemas. Telephone televisions, refrigerators, are some of the facilities which are found only in towns and cities. The means of entertainments and recreation and other centers of art, culture and civilization are found in cities. The villagers are quite ignorant of the trends which are prevalent long the city dwellers. They enjoy all the modem facilities. They live a very comfortable life they can get whatever they wish.
Moreover, the smoky atmosphere, the dirty and noisy roads the insanitary conditions of cities because of factories and industries, the lack of good diet and fresh air are some of the deficiencies of town life. The cities dwellers have to live in narrow streets and very small house. They have no proper ventilation system in their houses. The people are move and the capacity is limited.
Thus country life and town life stand in a striking contrast. The facilities of one are the drawbacks of the other and vice-versa. City people are cultured, civilized and cleverer than their counterparts dwelling in village. But still, the life of small village is worth enjoying because it provides tranquility, calmness and peace of mind which are conspicuously absent from the life in the towns.
