Moving away from London

Recommended Posts

Having lived in London for most of my life. I was thinking of moving far away to a smaller town. I just feel that London is not a great place to live anymore. To many foreigners, highly congested, stressfull and a rat race. It feels like we are under to much pressure to to compete with each other.  Im originally from a small town and it feels much better when I go back. Nice and peacefull away from the hustle and bustle, more greenery and countryside and relaxed atmosphere. Alot less foreigners, lower crime rates ect.

 

Anyone got any views about relocating?

You could've done a simple google search, also how do you know the foreigners won't follow you? There's hundereds of nice rural places around the world, even in just somewhere like England.

There's no better place to live then Home.

Fact is one has to go where his job takes him.

(In above verse Kirat simply means job)

Rather than moving, take frequent breaks away from London.

Foreigners are attracted by the the jobs particulalry the factory jobs or black market jobs. Hence these are mostly found in the big cities. generally most people are attracted to London when they come to the uk. As they see it as a land of opportunity. That is what I am after. Rurual location away from the concrete jungle that is london. A place that has more privacy and your not constantly surrounded by thousands of people everywhere you go.

Also the further out of london you go the more the demographic is white. People are more laid back. Not like london which is overcrowded and polluted ect.

Have you thought about Scotland? From limited knowledge, they seem to be more rural there than England, (of course in America most of our land is rural; and it's all spread about).

"Too many foreigners" ? oh how I love a coconut

something my kid bro and his missus said before moving out of hounslow west down the road to richmond postcode in one of those villages which have been engulfed London's growth. You run to Scotland and you'll find that particular type of foreigner in droves unless you escape to the Highlands. We are thinking about moving out of London in a couple of years too but more towards the coast and go the B&B , holiday let route to free up time to do other things than just work eat sleep and repeat

London is very messed up place for a family person I definitely wouldn't want to raise children in London , so many bad and confusing external influences make it very hard to instill a sense of identity.

Not mention the general rat race and run around busyness of London life which gives very little time for working parents to spend with their kids.

The likelihood of raising "cocunut" kids with no culture or identity us much higher in London than other parts of the UK.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
