Urban hell

 

Natty, you're so pretty!  I love those photos.  Yes there's no doubt: you are the prettiest girl in the world.  Where are you now, Honey?  Are you still in the city?  Or are you always in the city no matter where you are?  For a nature girl, you always seem to me to be enjoying the city.  I'm glad I don't live in the city.  It didn't work out that way intentionally, I just followed the path that Allah put me on.  When I was young, I always loved the city and its toys.  Then it happened, that living in the city sucks when you don't have any money.  Not having money sucks period, but poverty is more intense in the city.

Especially since the Covid, it doesn't really matter nowadays where you base your career because of the Internet.  If I had brought Mary to the city, it would have taken much longer for her to get to the karaoke joint in Second Life, and easier for Mary to get caught and killed.  It seems that neither talent nor beauty matters anymore in the city: one has to overcome the selfishness of survival.  Which is true anywhere of course, but much more intense in the city.  What about the rural poor?  How to raise the quality of life and wealth of the rural?  It seems to me that one has to turn the village into a city.  Have something to attract people to come here and plant their investment.  And once the village becomes a city, then it gets the problems and intensity of the city.  Ugh.  How awful.
