@jwolf You are completely right. Due to shortage of activities, lack of proper education, less stressful life and the plenty of time they have; people in small towns are usually interested in what others do, how could this affect them and why someone is a good or bad person. Everyone there is being watched 24/7.
while in cities people are too busy to care about what is happening to their closest neighbors.
But everyone still can't be a slave to society but it takes confidence, independence, and high self-esteem to break free from the fear of what others might think of you.

Thanks for sharing.
