VILLAGE LIFE
GOD MADE THE COUNTRY, BUT MAN MADE THE TOWN. WILLIAM COWPER HUMAN life started from caves and forests. Man
hunted wild animals and life was centered in tribes and groups. These groups joined and formed a bigger centre called a village. Thus
villages became the axis and foundation of human civilization. The role of villages is central because todays cities were villages once.

dont run after money. Materialism is mostly fashion in cities. The villagers are sincere and honest. THE MERIT OF ORIGINALITY IS

vegetables and butter are their common diet. Their diet is pure though it is simple. There is no chance of impurity or contamination in
the food items in the villages. The village life also gives a person a chance to live a disciplined life in which a person wakes up early in
the morning and sleeps in the evening. The people of villages do not even need light because they have planned their life in a way that
they can survive without electricity. Their dress, food, custom and manners are simple but decent. LIFE IS REALLY SIMPLE, BUT MEN
