A Place, a Freedom
Thinking about place, i recalls what so called of instrumental developments in my beloved sucks country, Indonesia. If you had went here, you'll probably (or always?) met with those sucks kind of a bad developed landscape in most average cities. Crude street, bad sanitation, unmanaged (and crowded streetlines), nerd landmark, and many so on. You'll need tons of website to write it all. Am I very pessimistic person? No I think, especially for this reason. It's like you having a problem that you couldn't get the way where you should start to solve those problems. So, if you had made the worse of your place, you might be one of unidentified person (no identity, just flew with the broken world). You're a man who live in the uncivilized century, no freedom, just a slave (by your self).Your Place, Your Identity, Your Freedom
The attachment to landscape is part of the identity of every individual and every culture. The familiar streets, squares, parks, canals, fields and hills of childhood are an integral part of people’s psychological make-up and sense of rootedness in the world. When these things are lost – whether through exile, development or wilful destruction – their character often becomes even more important to people’s inner life. Think, for example, about how so much wonderful music and literature has been written in exile, in the form of home thoughts from abroad.
