I’ve lived in NYC, and I’ve lived in other places that gave me a much different view on how to validate people’s experiences. I view all of my NYC friends and unenlightened philisters in this respect and you are acting just like them.
You are aiming to spark introspection by talking about the nice day to day experience, at the expense of the not nice experiences based on a difference in perceived frequency. But this is all for pride.
I cannot comprehend what point you're trying to make or how you derived it from me describing my own lived experience. I have lived elsewhere, even outside the US. I know nyc isn't the only way to live and I'm not telling anyone it's the best. Just that it's not as dangerous as portrayed in some media and it's possible to live a fulfilling life and even raise kids.
