The Bigger the City, the Lonelier One Feels

I probably am the first one to say, " The bigger the city, the lonelier one feels! " Skyscrapers are modern monuments that we build against a foggy sky; many feel lonely and bored in them, and the irony is that to rent or buy suites is prohibitive to people who struggle to survive: only a Trump or a Gates can afford them! Is their affluenza driving you mad? Be real: you can't have any of them, unless you hold that lucky Lotto or Mega ticket! My suggestion is keep on living as usual, let dreams of wealth glide you by as puppet balloons in a Thanksgiving Parade: go to Central Park and take a stroll or try ice-skating...it's fun! There are thousands of things to do in Manhattan: go see a Broadway Musical or spend an hour or two in a café or music bar with friends who seem as bored as you are! No! don't sit on that sofa and watch movies on demand for hours! It's so boring! Yee, be good to yourself....get out and enjoy life! Laugh! Scream! Jump! Run! Smile! Do anything and everything! Own happiness! Let everyone know that are alive regardless of your social status: money can offer lots of expensive things most of us can't even imagine... instead search for the simpler things that are more fun and cost almost nothing!
