Difference Between City Life And Country Life
When I grew up, I realised every people live their life differently in different places. There are a lot of differences in places to notice.
And as an adult, I found that people majorly settle in places in the countryside area or a city area. There's an exception of the mix of these two but in a few years with developing nature that place also transforms into a City.
I now live in a place which is a mix of city and Province. I have experienced both lives and realised that I would pursue a countryside life later on. Why? We will get to that later.
Living in both places have different perks and downside which I plan to discuss today.
Countryside Life Or Provincial Life
Perks:-
A calm and peaceful place where you can enjoy nature truly. You can experience wonderful scenes and views here. And it is found that people living in those places are calm and in good mood.
Lots of things to do outside, children can play. There's abundant land for them to run and explore and every day if I remember we used to create new types of games.
The price of foods, vegetables and daily life needed things is low compared to the cities. And you can even plant your own food.
People here are healthy and live long due to clean food intake and heavy physical work as most of the work they do here is physical.
Downside:-
Less job as well as business opportunities here. And to get groceries or any other needs related items you have to travel a long way.
The life there is hard peaceful and occupied and many times people don't focus on education at all.
People or neighbours here can be very nosy in some places.
Lack of education causes youth to either shift to cities at an early age to work or some just fall into other temptations like alcohol.
How can I forget the bad network connection. In today's digital age it's necessary to get better connections in every corner of the Earth. There are a lot of opportunities to earn on the internet which even countryside people can do.
City Or Town Life
Perks:-
A place with lots of new things to explore. Be it may foods, clothes, buildings, unique things etc.
You can find any products or items here and here you don't have to search or travel for them much. They are easily available nearby you. There's even an online facility in which you don't have to go anywhere.
Lots of jobs and business opportunities, the pay may be low but there are a lot of opportunities in cities.
You can get high level quality education here but no financial education, haha.
Downside:-
Due to the sedentary and modern lifestyle people here have weak immunity and are more unhealthy. People here are very moody. Less area for children to play outside.
Some city smokes air pollution and noise pollution. Day and night you will be hearing traffic noises if you live in the middle of the city.
Lots of unnecessary temptations here to destroy your lives like drugs, flashy culture etc.
The prices of everything here are very high and one must have a good source of income to live a normal life in towns.
The crime rates are high.
Final Thoughts
I may be missing a lot of points which is your homework to add, haha.
My final verdict is both places are great with their perks and downsides. It depends on a person what he wants and how he wants to live life.
Also, I said that business is hard there in the village which is right because very few people shit to live in villages. But with proper investment and using a bit of brain. One can do great farming, fruit, animals or wood business there.
With continuous price spike in city lifestyle, I think soon living a normal average life here would be difficult in which we will work day and night to pay bills. That's only when we don't have multiple sources of income.
The major downside in the village which I found why people don't shift there is due to education, the education quality is very poor there. The kids in government college get all the free facilities but the level of education is very low. I personally during lockdown took lots of classes in my village government school.
So, What do you Prefer? Do you plan to settle in the city or the countryside?

When I was still young we live in the country and enjoy the perks as what you have mentioned. Now we live in a place near the city. We go home and visit in the countryside if we have time to enjoy and relax for a while.
