I can understand your feeling and the reason why you feel in that way. In my case, even if I grown-up in village I also don't know most of the people. But one thing to remember that there is no guarantee of anything in life. And anything can happen and remember that village is the last and permanent address for everyone. I think you should remain cool whenever you father saying something about village because it's the most precious thing for your father.
So don't try to show arrogance even if you don't agree with the statement. You might be thinking why I used arrogance 🤔. It's because I can feel your each word and I know very well behind your thoughts.
By the way I am not a psychologist 🤣. Don't get me wrong. I just want to say you to remain cool even if you don't agree.
You can enjoy Solo trip in village and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Lol.. I get you bro. And you're right about the village being the permanent address. I feel that is the main relevance that it still has, the fact that we will always have a home there.
And although I said I don't like going down there doesn't mean I don't. I do when the rest of the family travel there, I just don't see myself going there on my own because I want to.
