People in the city tend to ignore each other more...maybe that's the 'tension' you pick up on. Maybe that's why I don't feel comfortable in cities. Or malls.
There's something where we agree, Bev. I don't watch much TV because I think a lot of it is demeaning/makes people look stupid. Southpark, from the little I've seen (little clips), is worse than most. I don't watch horror movies or those 'dark' movies where the bad guys win. It's just not a world I like to see. I hate practical jokes, too. I don't even watch shows like Hell's Kitchen, because watching Chef call people names that they have to bleep isn't entertainment for me.
I don't see nature as hostile, but I sure respect her power. I think we've all learned that it's easier to work with Mother Nature than try to fight her. I live in her world, so I have to accommodate her seasons and whims. My joy comes from being able to sit inside by the fire and watch Mother Nature send down a blizzard. Yeah, I have to put on my 17 layers and go out in it sometimes, but knowing my comfy chair is by the fire makes it OK.
