If I had been on the top of this skyscraper, my knees would have trembled strongly.
If I had taken a selfie at this location, everybody would have named me a crazy man.
I might have defeated my fear of heights, if I had been this selfie-taker.
If I had made this picture, I could have sold it for plenty of money.
If I had been to Japan during this action, I would have observed the happenings.
What is a typical human of New York City – that’s a very good and at the same time difficult question. 8,2 millions of people live in here – and these people are logically as different as sweet and sour are.
Also if the people of NYC absolutely don’t have altogether the same origin and culture: They have indeed little similarities. For example being almost always stressed, upsetting when the subway is delayed or crossing against the red light. To complete the list of similarities comes another point: All people of NYC loves their city very much – they are the lucky ones, who can live the “living-in-the-big-apple-dream” of thousands of people.
Now I switch to the varieties of the population. Some are extremely rich, others are desperately poor. There are a lot of stunning fat people, some outstanding skinny ones, some very famous people and there are unemployed people. They have different religions, different skin colors and different cultures. This list is by no means complete. But it shows the most important differences.
After my analysis I have to say, that there’s no common denominator. In my opinion the typical human of New York doesn’t exist. The only thing, which I can subscribe, is, that the people of NYC are stressed, but adore their city all the time…
