Hey dude, if city living makes you an insensitive prick then please, keep me in the country...
First off, I don't WANT a change, I NEED a change, because the situation has been forced on me, it wasn't my choosing.
Second...
I don't want to live in the city because I am trying to avoid bringing my kids up in an environment where if they feel like they need to turn people with problems, those people won't turn around and make them into some overblown ***** character like "Jack Handy" just to boost their inflated ego.
I want my kids to be willing to reach out for a hand from a fellow human if they feel they need it, and not have to worry about losers making them into ****ing T.V. characters.
I want my kids sensitive.
I want them to write poetry if they feel like it, and make great art of all kinds, and I want them to treat people like they are family no matter who they are, or where they are...
I want them kind.
I want them soft hearted.
Maybe you should ask yourself this is such a bad character trait to you...bitter much?
I think you equate kindness and soft heartedness to weakness, and it is anything but that...research all of the great leaders in history, they had traits of both strength AND vulnerability, I want my boys to be leaders, and leaders are never afraid to open up and reach out for help when they need to.
A leader must be willing to recruit others to help them in their endevours, rather then working against themselves by working against other people...
Thanks for the advice though...
