There's someone I love who I think suffers from the affects of "Agent Orange" passed down a few generations. Her heart is frail and she'll likely die before the age of 30. I can only imagine how difficult it would be for people dependent on modern medicine, to lead a fulfilling life away from it all. I'm glad you aren't alone, and can gurantee you'll be on to better things.

Right. Anyone I could possibly gather are very likely to cause as many problems as they'd solve. We are bound to our luxurious needs, like a screen to look at for hours on end. It would take a genuine and flexible will to go through with such a plan of leaving at all. So, if I'll have to do it alone then so be it.

@Morty_Frey I can only wish you good luck. Preppers seem to have the most earnest advice.

Yes we're social creatures but isolation only hurts because we know we don't have to live in it. It's when you accept that that's it, that you simply let go more.

@Morty_Frey ''you simply let go more" You mean of your sanity? I suppose it doesn't matter when you cease to be a social creature. Sanity is pretty subjective and if you live alone you can be as subjective as you like.

@MsDemeanour Partially, yes. It does take a lot to get to that point as with any other kind of personal growth.
I feel it's more insane to invest in a broken system of men and monsters. Meanwhile, nothing can keep you from yourself at night...People leave, but you're your best asset.

@Morty_Frey gees I like that phrase "nothing can keep you from yourself at night" I find that really unsettling somehow. I suppose we all have our demons. Is this an original quote? I might steal it and make a meme.

@MsDemeanour Lol I'm sorry it's unsettling. Another light to see it is that your relationship with yourself and nothingness can also be assuring. It's a comfort in the right enviornment. Ultimately, you're completely maluable with enough determination. The silence of isolation will never change, and while it's hollowing...there's also a comfort knowing that it won't ever be any worse than how it first makes you feel.

It's original to me, but maybe someone else has said it. Meme away friend.

@Morty_Frey If you were a con man I would say you could make some $ starting your own sect.

do you need another wife?

Sounds awesome, I'd love to hear more about the kind of area you have this set up in. Clearly, I'm in the market.

@Morty_Frey I'm in the middle of the St. Lawrence River but on the Canadian side, you'd have to look into the American side.
