Living in the city

The trouble with living in the city and having a job is that life just becomes nothing but repetition. Wake up, goto work, go home, shopping for food on weekends and then the chore starts again from the beginning. For how long? I suppose until the person just screams "I can't take it" and drops their job and leaves the city. All this brings me back to a related subject I posted earlier called, "Dedication and a passion for one's life work" (May 25). Seems like a forgotten word that most people don't have much concern for anymore. I hear of business and technology but I hear little about the arts. I promote the arts in society - the arts as a way of life rather than a profession or just something with asthetic value. The arts cannot be forgotten and must play an increasing important role in society.
