Just because something is bigger doesn’t mean it’s right for you.

In a small place.

You see there are hundreds of thousands of locals, but actually, the ones with real status or wealth number fewer than 100—and you rarely even encounter them. No one in your social circle pushes your buttons. Soon enough, you get an economy car and a local home. Close the door at night, and no one bothers you—it’s your own private world. Step outside, hop in the car, and still no one刺激s you. So you don’t feel the gap, your happiness rises because you’re less anxious.

Everyone else is moving slowly too, so you don’t seem slow.
