Living in a high-rise society has become a trend, but humanity seems to be lacking.

We live on the same floor for years, yet hardly know each other.

Earlier, people used to live in societies where they knew each other very well! It was like a family: helping each other, spending time together, and enjoying festivals together. Most importantly, they helped each other anytime, which made life feel safe and happy.

But living in society now is totally different—High-rise buildings, lavish lifestyles. People don’t even know their next-door neighbours and forget about helping. We don’t even see children in our society playing together and spending time together, as we used to; we’re no longer in contact with those people.  

A discussion has sparked on Instagram. Where a man’s talk on life in high-rise apartments has sparked a discussion about whether modern housing comes at the cost of strong community bonds. He shared a video on Instagram; a man identified as Abhay pointed towards a cluster of high-rise residential towers and compared them with traditional streets, colonies and neighbourhoods.

In the video, he shares that tall buildings and parks may look attractive, but people may not know the story behind them. He said that if someone dies on the same floor or faces a problem, even neighbours living next door or on the second floor may not come to help. He called this “the reality of society.”

Abhay then compared this with the society people used to live in earlier neighbourhoods, where he said people were more likely to reach out when someone faced hardship or difficult times. He said that in high-rise societies, people may only ask about someone if they know them personally, while others continue with their own lives. No one bothers at all.

The man, Abhay, concluded by saying that people living in slum areas, local areas or colonies may be happier than they realise. He said they may not know what life is really like inside these flats.
