About This Quote

The inertia of a jungle village is a dangerous thing. Before you know it your whole life has slipped by and you are still waiting there. Life in a small town or village can be difficult because people tend to stick to their own groups and clans. When the same things happen over and over again, it can be hard to break out of the cycle and make something different happen. Life in a large city like New York City or London is completely different because everyone is part of a big city and everyone has to work together as one community.
