Well, I can't strongly recommend you to live in country if you are already living in city and comfortably leaing your routine life. But country life is more peaceful, jolly and enjoyable than the busy city life.
While we have lot of facilities, and modern gadgets in cities that make our life very easy and run smoothly, on the contrary, country life is sometimes miserable if you compare with your current life. You may have to do lot of chores by your own rather than depending on the high end gadgets.
But if you want to have a simple,hardworking,peaceful and joyful life I would recommend you to go for the country life.
Country side life is closer to nature. In this modern world of 2007, there are lot of advances in science and technology not only in the cities, but also in the country side. So the olden days of burning candle lights have gone in countries. It has become almost equivalent to city life with a lesser amount of stress and noise.
Country life assists as the best stress busters.
The more you go near to nature the more happy you will be. Not only old people and children enjoy the country life,but also young office workers will find it far better to live in country than living in the rushy cities.
