Currently

Nowadays, the people live in the big cities because is where their jobs are located at. There are a lot of studies saying that more than 80% of people are living in big cities against the 20% that is located in the rest of the country. The main reason is the infrastructures, the jobs, the opportunities in general. But living in big cities is not a big deal. The flats are small and the cost of living in the city is really expensive. But it's easier to have a job because there are more opportunities. But in the end, the quality of life is worst. Ok, you have a job, you are living in a really small flat, maybe you are paying monthly rent, and you have to spend at least one o two hours to arrive at the company where you are working for. This is a fact. To summarize, living in the city const: really expensive, low quality of life and stressful. The pros: more opportunities, more infrastructures, and more social life. 

The COVID is arriving

The covid has arrived and everything has changed. People are dying because of this. But who is most affected? Mainly the people that are living in the big cities. One reason is that there are more people concentrated in the big cities, so by statistics is a fact, if there are 80% of people living in the big cities and 20% in the rest of the country so it's normal that is dying more people in the cities. But you have to take into account that the big cities are spots of pollution, so people who are living here have more diseases because of pollution. They suffer from lung diseases. So they are more vulnerable and the COVID is affecting more them. Furthermore, COVID is spreading into big cities easier because there are more people. So in the end, currently living in the big cities is not a big deal, I would say that it's the opposite. The government measures force to stay at home to people, so living in a small flat in the city without big windows and balconies doing that your flat was a jail. The quarantine is like a sentence.

How to handle the situation

People who have a second house abroad can leave the city to go there and try to pass the epidemic. They can live in a safer place outside the big cities. As for cons, people are spreading COVID to other places where people are not infected. So in the end, the COVID is spread to all the country in some way or another. As for pros, they can go to the streets and live a more normal life because there are fewer people, fewer restrictions. 

Let's talk about the work

I always thought that there are a lot of people who can work remotely. If you only need a computer to do your work.... why do you have to spend one or two hours every day going to work at the company? You wasting your time living in the way of anywhere, for nothing. It has no sense. Your time living is limited, you will realize of that when you look behind and you will see how much time you are wasted for nothing: going to work. The companies are used to handle you as they like. You have to travel if your company says it for instance. You have to go to work in the company because they want it as it is. Sometimes I feel that I can choose, I'm a prisoner of the situation. Sometimes the people are asking to the companies for working remotely, working at home, but companies say that it´s not possible because of productivity reasons and many slopy reasons. You realize that they are handling your life and you don't have how to stop it. Going to work to the company is mandatory and you know that you are spending your life doing that, but how can I leave of this circle?... COVID to the rescue! 

Working remotely

The COVID has arrived and now we are living and working at home. Now the companies are seeing that working at home is possible. Thanks to work remotely, companies have been able to keep on producing every day. The companies are losing money this year because of COVID, but thanks to work remotely they haven't stopped. Now what? I wonder... Is it possible or not to keep on working at home and being productive? For those CEO and human resources people that they say that was not possible... I would say that the world was a better place if they would dedicate themselves to work in another field, without handling people. They don't have any empathy for the employees. Leave to the employees to be free, free of choosing how to live their lives. If they want or not going to the company.

Consequences

If you don't have to go to work at the company every day, you can choose where you live. You can live in a small town, on a warm island or where you want. You can choose how to live your life. You can buy a nice house in the countryside with a big backyard, you can have pets: dogs and cats without worrying about arriving at home to take a walk with them. You will be healthier because you can leave in a better place, with fresh and clean air. You can choose which house is your home and pay less mortgage for it because in the big cities you must buy a flat but you can't choose it. If you don't buy what the market gives you, you can buy anything. There are a lot of people looking for a house and the prices are super high. You have to pay, all your life long, for a house that you need to have in the big cities only because your company is in the city and you have to go there every day, not because you want to live in the city because you want. I feel annoyed when I can choose and other people lead my life and that's what is happening nowadays. 

Final Thoughts

I think, our way of life has to change, but changing for better. You must have to opportunity to choose how to live your life without any company lead your life because you work for them. If you work remotely you can spend more time with your family and friends, you have more time to live, you will be less stressed, you will be healthier, you will have more money for you, you will help to save the world polluting less because you don't need using your car so much. If you summarize, everything is better if you are working remotely and everything is thanks to the COVID. Sometimes bad things have to occur to move forward, to realize that there are other ways to live. Sometimes changes are positives, I hope we can change our society to work at home or remotely, to improve our quality of life and be free of living as we like.
