Садилась печатать одно, в итоге получилось что-то совсем другое... Стандарт, в общем-то. И как-то мне кажется, что я там от темы поуходила... Но лично мне это нравится, поэтому если надо - переделаю, конечно, но Жанчик собою доволен))) На ваш суд: Loneliness is a fair price for big city life.

Loneliness is a fair price for big-city life… The word price sounds a bit strange, doesn’t it? What price? Nobody owes anything to anybody, that’s the main principle of big city life… And here comes the problem - that of individualism.
Living in a city like Moscow means endless competition, which of course leads to individualism. And we praise it alongside with logic, common sense and money. Of course most of us are fond of debating about the degradation of a human being, about the cultural level of our country, about poverty, politics and what not. Don’t you think all these talks are a bit abstract? At least they are such, until our car is broken, our sister is expelled from school or our father becomes bankrupt. Only then we begin to care.
We are living in a world rushing somewhere and we just don’t have enough time to think about anybody else but ourselves and our nearest and dearest. Can you all put your hands to your hearts and say, that you really do care what will happen to me an hour later? I think, you don’t. And what I say is: that’s absolutely normal. Individualism is normal. And it has nothing to do with big city life.
We all are different and (lucky we are!) nothing can be done about that. We all have different habits, different points of view and unique DNA-codes. OK, that’s kind of gospel truth. Do you suffer from that? Is there any problem here? Any discomfort coming out of this? I can’t see any.
So… Being unique and because of this lonely does not mean being unhappy, so it's kind of strange to call it a price. There's just nothing to worry about. The only person you can be absolutely sure in, is you. You are also the only person in the world you can always trust. And this does not depend on where you live, where you work, who you love and what hairstyle you prefer.
And nothing’s wrong with it. Individualism is natural. So is loneliness. Of course, people fall in love, make friends, meet hundreds of people, whom they like and whom they start to care about. But! You can meet new friends, you can fall in love for the second, third and I don’t know which time, you can find new home, you can change your surrounding completely. But you'll never escape from yourself. And in that way or other one's always lonely.
Of course, one can make a great problem out of this. But what for? That’s in humans’ nature. We all have secrets, we all have our personal space, we all sometimes feel a strong need to be alone. And that’s normal. Just because we are all so different, just because we all want to be unique and we are unique, we will never be able to not be lonely in some way. And so fighting against loneliness is like fighting peoples’ inability to survive without water. Loneliness is not a price for big city life. It’s the price for our individuality, for life itself. If you ask me, that’s fair enough.

ЗЫ: Замечания по грамматике, формулировкам, "ачепяткам" и просто корявым фразам, а также дикие крики: "Ты уходишь от темы!" приветствуются.
ЗЗЫ: Это уже отредактированный вариант, теперь хотя бы я с Натальей Семёновной видим в этом логику.
