Everyone Needs the City
August 29, 2009
Not everyone wants to live in the City, but it is an essential component of our lives. Both the sage and the hermit need it.
The sage needs the City to teach his pupils. The hermit needs the City so he can eschew it and all that it entails.
The farmer and the trapper need it for its markets and its wares. The sailor needs its port. The merchant needs its roads.
The court needs its palace; the commoner needs its walls.
But all of these needs are not congruous: how can each make the City better?
