In the ancient past we lived in cities which offered us protection to increase our chances of survival against more powerful wild beasts who could easily eat us. Now we do so bc it's the easiest way to find someone who can help us in doing some task we don't know nothing about (plumbery, carpentry, smithery) to find our soulmate, entertainment to escape boredom or someone who can teach us the knowledge and skills needed to pursue our goals in life to be happy. In overall along history we have lived in cities bc it's where the biggest groups of cooperating humans lived. Thanks to your book we know where big groups of cooperating humans lead. To progress. And even if you think the contrary. To happiness. Try to live on your own in the middle of the forest, desert, jungle, etc. and you will experience it in your own flesh and therefore.......in your own soul (meaning feelings). In cities there are more opportunities, more freedom, more goodness. We go wherever there is something we like. We like goodness bc goodness is..... flasing news ahead: good. That being said pollution is really a severe issue which deeply impacts negatively ours and environment health and I must admit that cities make it even worse but sooner or later scientists will solve the equation (renewable energies, things made of not so polluting materials, advanced ways to recycle our wastes more efficiently, etc.). It's their specialty after all. They don't know how to do otherwise (they get bored and depressed if they don't). Meanwhile better we do what the say to us and not pollute so much everything regardless we live in cities or not.
Simple--- you lack unconditional love. It's not a trick. And you don't lack it. Be it, brother Yuval, and create a fair world.
Regarding taxes, I'm scared of SURPRISES in taxes, i.e. when the taxes end up being higher than I calculated. Also, I'm scared of the tax bureau making mistakes that people need to pay for. An IRS employee can make a mistake, and go eat their lunch, while a family who's been a victim of this mistake will barely have anything to eat because of the said mistake

Well Now.... About That....
The only school worth validity, is LIFE. The present education system was created to choose the 'strong', and leave aside the 'weak', meaning the clinical ones (the Apples, the Amazons, the Microsofts, the Facebooks, the BlackRocks, and so on, of this world), as opposed to the artistic, compassionate, empathic, and so on, ones.

I don't know anyone who is "scared" of taxes. I know a lot of people who are concerned about their money being wasted however.

Literally, millions of people procrastinate on their taxes. You don’t know anybody who does that? I guarantee down deep, fear is the issue. Fear of the complications. Fear of repercussions if they figure their taxes incorrectly. The list goes on. You must have incredibly organized friends.

The world isn't "fair" because we live in a world broken by sin. You are Jewish. You have God's Word. So you know that full well.
