The nihilst chick Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I have been pondering this for a long time. Just leaving society behind and living in solitude for 10-20 years then returning to civilization. I feel too attached to people, ideas etc. I want my house powered by solar energy and as eco friendly as possible. I figured I not rush into it, like I slowly move further and further away from people until I am in total solitude. I wouldn't talk much to the outside world unless emailing or calling my family every week so they do not think I was mauled by a bear or something. I want to learn to not let anyone not even my family have a affect on me etc. Not to cling or shun anything but to be calm whether people praise me r insult meet etc. I am tired of people, I always been and at the same time I let others decide what I was and not myself. Sorry for blabbering. What does everyone think? Link to post Share on other sites
pteromom Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Or you could do the same thing emotionally, and not leave the benefits of being part of society. You CAN learn to live your own life on your own terms. It is your choice to continue to let other people run it. Link to post Share on other sites

Minka333 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) I can relate. I sometimes feel that way too... I hate conforming to society...to be like this/like that... The pressures..the high standards...all that facade Sometimes i just wanna be in exile..far far away Far from this maddening dog eats dog world... Far from people who stabs you at your back... Far from hurt and expectations... I have fantasized about packing my bags and stay with some monks who lives in the mountains. No social media, no pretensions, no masks. No makeup or fancy clothes.* Live a simple life. Just be free. Just be me. But then i also know that i should not totally escape from reality. We are here to grow from our experiences. To connect and try to make a difference in other people's lives. Being in exile will only stagnate our growth. It will hamper whatever lessons we are meant to learn. It is like hiding in an empty shell. We should face the world by facing all the challenges that comes with it. We should not lose faith in humanity because there are still a lot of good hearted people out there. Edited December 1, 2012 by Minka333 Link to post Share on other sites
