Fortress Besieged

This lecture made me think about one book I read, the FORTRESS BESIEGED, which talked about marriage. So marriage is like a fortress besieged: those who are outside want to get in, and those who are inside want to get out.

So, do you want to live in suburban area or urban area is like that. Each one has its priorities. The developers tried to guide me in different life style. Actually, I was from a big city. I really enjoy the nature in Clemson. They are so different. Campus in suburban area is good for study and think about your self. The example in the lecture showed different life style in suburban area. Someone liked rural life, and they can find themselves in the nature. Or after few years, they were board, they wanted to go back to city. Someone told me America is a big countryside. But I found the priority of this kind of life style, the freedom, the privacy, drive anywhere you want to go. I think that Americans really enjoy this life style.

People has all kinds of desires, sometimes they want to get in the fortress, sometimes they want to get out.
