If you can afford it, you should never live in a village.

This message applies to third-world countries such as Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan.

It is much better, more respectable, and more comfortable to live in a rented house in the city than to own 100 hectares of land in the village.

What index can be used to put living in a village permanently ahead?

Most people here are so toxic that they are more worried about their personal lives than their personal lives.

Why is your hair long?

Why don't you wear a burqa?

Why don't you get your daughter married off, even though you studied with honors?

Why don't you get a job even after the age of 25?

Why are you still studying while your batchmate is earning a lot, while some of your batchmates are going abroad and earning a lot?

They are very stressed about these trivial matters. Sometimes you will see that other people are more worried about things that even your own family is not worried about.

Another big part of the toxic issues in the village is quarrels. You will not find a house where there is no dispute over land. Directly or indirectly, this family is always quarreling with that family in some way.

Heads are being split over one inch of land, abusive language is being used, and lawsuits are going on.

Secretly putting a patch on someone's name to settle the quarrel, if you don't like someone, spreading bad name in their name in all places, even secretly putting a patch on marriage, is a daily job for most of the people in the village.

Most of the people in the village are so ignorant that they don't understand a software engineer, an electrical engineer, or an MBBS doctor.

For them, government jobs mean Police (or constables), Army (or soldiers), Primary school teachers, etc. Just as they consider a nursing student a doctor, they also consider someone who is studying MBBS in a medical college. For them, it is more important than the grade of government job you have, whether you work in a private job or in the government. Even if you are a peon in a primary school, girls are willing to marry you, but no matter how good a job you have in a private job, your parents will still do it.

For them, your friend who became a soldier/constable/went abroad or did some work after SSC is more valuable than your higher education.

And the most annoying part of toxicity is the tea shops in the village. In every tea shop in the village, people sip tea and gossip. Where no one's wife is having a baby, whose wife is pregnant, there is no research left on politics, economics, or sports. Most of which are rumors.

Even in the midst of all this, some well-wishers in the village want to understand you, understand you, and try to understand you. Those who are not so interested in the personal lives of others, those who believe that going abroad or going to work is never a better option than pursuing higher education, and those who do not spread lies and gossip in a cup of tea. Salute to them, they deserve lifelong respect.
