There are three modes of nature, goodness, passion and ignorance, under whose influence this entire material world functions. Things are created in passion, maintained under the influence of goodness, and destroyed by ignorance. Passion is very pleasing initially, but after some time brings distress and suffering. Goodness is unpleasant initially, but later is actually joyful. And ignorance is trouble from beginning to end.
Modern day cities are under the influence of passion and ignorance, It is very important to note that practically the entire world is now habituated to, or conditioned by, the modes of passion and ignorance due to city living.
