A Tale of 2 Cities

"There are 2 types of people who lived on earth. One lived in the forgotten city up in the mountains while the other lived deep down in the valleys beneathe.

Those who lived in the higher planes had work to do and they worked like mad.
The other type were those who stopped behaving like they badly needed a living or they would have to behave like mad and so they just ended up like "live & let live". Which in fact, meant that they were plain existing, not living.

These two groups of people really resented each other to the core. It probably came from so far back in time that now one could only guess how it all began.

As I have said, the mad ones lived high up on the mountains. They had slowly made their progress over time. Once the human-kinds were able to control their environments, they moved towards the moutains. It had been a long and ardous journey for early mankind. But soon, they finally conquered their external environments and inhabited the highlands, where the grasses were richer, air fresher, water cleaner and food in greater abundance.

However, soon these too began to dwindle as they improved economically and became heavily industrialised. They had learnt to synthesise their own food, which are so far advanced than the primary produce of the land. However, these by-products wasted the environments they lived in. There came a time when they realised their bodies had to work very hard at keeping up with the pace of life. Even the industrialised air would need fuel to clean them up before they could breathe effortlessly. To keep to their pace of life, they had to "work like mad". Soon after, the predictable happened. Those who finally succumbed to their fatique began their descend to the earth below. Others just obeyed the laws of gravity and tumbled downhill."

"Interesting tho, those who remained on the mountains, felt a certain disregard for those inhabitants below. Soon the age-gaps became apparent. Those who made their descend were mostly older than those energetic ones living the high-life on top."
