MOVING OR STAYING

Today’s topic is to talk about the question, “It is better to live in one city or town than to move from one place to another. Agree or disagree?”

I personally think that both choices have their own advantages and disadvantages but if I had to choose one, which I do, I would choose moving from one place to another.  I chose this because one will get bored and sick of a place if they stayed there for too long.  That’s human nature.  Anyone will get bored if they are encountered with the same thing for a long time.  This comes from my experience.  I live on a small island called Saipan.  It is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and it is so small that we can’t even see it in most maps.  It is so small that the people here know most of each other.  I have been on this island since elementary school and now I am a high school student which makes it about 8 years on this island.  I am sick of it now.  I know EVERYTHING that goes on and there is nothing interesting in my eyes.  This proves that it is better to move from one place to another so that one will not get bored and experience new things.

The reason some people think it is better to in one city or town is because of experience.  If one does something for a long time, one will gain experience in that.  For example, if I lived in a certain place for a long time, which I did, I will have a lot of people that are close to me in that place or know a way to succeed in that place.  Anyways, one who lived in a place longer than a newbie will be much better at a lot of things.  That is why some people assume that it is better to stay in one place rather than moving around; and this point isn’t completely wrong.  But to me, the writer of this blog, it seems better to move around to many different places and experience new things all around the world.  My grandparents are a good example to this point.  They have lived in the same village for more than 20 years.  They know everyone and everything in that village as if it is their own home.  They don’t even think about moving because they are now too bonded with the people of that village, they are family.  This is a good example of gaining experience in something when done a long time.

All the decisions that the readers of this blog will differ, and that is completely normal because it is one’s will that decides the answer to this question.  There is no definite answer; it is a question with many correct answers.
