Living in The Village

Plenty of people not realized yet that the village is a place that provides the real comfort. County is a place that deserves to be called as serenity paradise. Even though the village does not offer a complete life such as in urban areas. The extensive employment, the distribution of electricity evenly, and also the sufficient mobile phone signals. But the homely village life can make us so miserable exactly. Whether you are grow up in the village or have lived there for a while as an adult – such KKN (Community Service Program) for example - village life is so rich, behind all its limitations. These follow, I will describe the things that make us yearn for living in the village.

In the village, fresh oxygen in the morning is always available. When opening the window in the morning, fresh air creeps through the room. The smell of trees, morning dew and moist soil will burst into the nose, then fill the lung cavity, replace carbon dioxide, then circulate and flow with bloodstream. These fresh oxygen is available abundantly without any pollution intervention from vehicle emission. Every day be like that, blessed by an incomparable grace.
Villagers do not have to struggle to think about where is the place to eat in the afternoon. And also don’t need to worry about borax or pesticides. They just eat anything freshness presented by the earth. They are very rare, even never eat food through the curing and canning process. Villagers buy fresh vegetables from farmers directly. If they want to eat chicken, they just catch and slaughter the chicken that reared by them. Chickens are much healthier than broiler chickens because they contain low fat. Besides, if they want to eat fish, they just need to go to the ponds or rivers for fishing. No need to worry about formalin danger or fish that have been preserved for days and less quality.
In the village, your family is not just your sister, brother, and father-mother. There are close and distant neighbors who are ready to help and look after us. Mutual cooperation, community service, and helping each other are common to rural people. They work to complete some jobs together such as cutting rice in the fields, helping when one of the neighbors holding a big occasions, and usually they make time to relaxing and chatting in the afternoon in one of the residents' houses so there is no awkwardness among them. Almost no distance that separates between one person to another. That is why living in the village, you will never be lonely.
The most important thing is, living in the village teaches us to mean simplicity. Simplicity will make us become more grateful human beings, more familiar with nature and more grateful for God's gifts. We do not have to compete with ourselves, focus too much on work and pursue high salaries, then forget that all of this will not last forever. Duly, enjoy this life, be humble to anyone and always be grateful.
