It is easier to live in virtual worlds, where you cannot see gestures or faces, than in real life, I suppose that is the norm today. The irony tells itself, because "globalization" instead of bringing us closer, isolates us in our homes.
Things of these new times, that's why I increasingly feel the need to get away from the city, go live on a farm, with animals and growing vegetables, in the middle of nowhere.
You're right and I agree...getting away from society gives perspective and nature helps too.
