Normal is over-rated. Go for broke and join the fringe life of live and let live with the hermits. It really isn't that bad once you realize how much more time and innerpeace you achieve.

Really I'm an each to their own type person. I find there is less people to interfere with or interfere with me if I don't live in the concrete areas. Wildlife make much better neighbors for me than humans. They may eat whatever they feel like on occasion but other than that we tend to not bother each other so much.

oh ive been there.

just need to ground oneself to get out of it.




nah.

my problem is, Society is So Fucking Boring.


such an atrocity.

people walking around like they are the glory of creation and here we are, barely hairless monkeys persecuting others for having a weed.

not to mention the entire gamot of "goodies" that society has in store for everyone partaking in it. (f.e competing like rats for fucking everything, being both prey and predator to one another.)

LOL..
Well I guess this all depends on which angle your coming from right.. and which ppl your talking too.. for the most part ppl are pretty boring and I think if I come to them with an attitude that I'm smarter then they are or any other prejudices then this is where our conversation will begin. I have found that traveling takes a lot of this out of you. You are really no better then the person next to you ,you just think you are. That is really a "Class" way of thinking and ppl would do better to knock it off... Even if I am "more intellegent" then you are does this give you(hypothetical) the right to act like a dick? I think not... lol.. You have one life to live so live it to the fullest and enjoy every moment and stop believing your the only person out there that knows what's ,what .. Trust me when I say your not.. The poorest ppl around are some of the best ppl in this world and they are very intellegent headband 707:tiphat:

Personally... I don't walk in with any attitude at all, I let the people dig their own graves. I'm only rarely surprised to run across a real individual. Yes, the general public are extremely boring. *yawn*

I've had over 50 jobs... makes you really aware of how narrow minded people are that have a 'career' that's focused on one tiny aspect of the world. Wow.

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

its all about the angles..

it was not really a statement of im smarter than you, it was more a rant, try getting called an lunatic moron a few times, it can be riling.



..here is the thing, brains are not 1 dimensional.

i dont know anyone that has a fully 3dimensionally outfleshed brain, good at everything.

and people might be stupid at one thing and then here in this next thing they kick your ass, whether you are a genius or not.

so we share some opinions anyway,though i didnt know it was a crime to declare you had brains, whatever reason for it.

kinda are calling me an asshole for saying im smart. :)


and you kinda are coming off as another "knowitall and better than you" btw. ;)

(on that last comment, all the smartest people are poor. and many educated people have blinders on. one dimensional sight for the most.)

some things I like about people and some things I don't

and its the same with myself: some things I like about myself and some things I don't like about myself

intriguing how "like" is presented in such either/or terms as it hardly ever really works that, IMO.

i kinda find it funny to hear "i dont like people." or "people are assholes."

and they are talking to people about it.

though, when you dont like most of society, its hard to be very specific.

Do other people really exist? Are we even an individual human?
Having others around us may be an illusion that our own consciousness is presenting to us as an exercise towards attaining lessons we need to learn during our transient existences while we believe we are existing as our body & personality.
Having chosen to regularly spend time meditating alone has opened up this type of contemplative curiosity which I feel may not have been attained as deeply if I chose to be steadily gregarious.

most people are likeable enough...so long as you agree/pretend to agree with them on whatever subject the conversation turns to. myself, i prefer the company of my dogs. they like the same foods i do, never complain about my TV shows, & don't get too jealous if i pet the neighbors dogs. if i stay out late at night, they never slam the bedroom door & scream "sleep on the F'G COUCH!!!" my wife complains because i pet them when they meet me at the door. i tell her that i'd pet her first if she would meet me at the door, wiggling her tail and happy to see me..." :tiphat: she is not a happy person, and i fear for her long-term mental well-being.:biggrin:

my way or the highway..

if you want to know, how the majority of the people are, look to the government and you will see a mirror image only slightly distorted by power..


i dont know, just finding a wife and good dogs is awesome (though finding good dogs is not hard if you raise them from birth, it can sometimes be hard to get rid of the bad habits left in older dogs by their former owners..)



if the only choice is to be alone or incessant boring chatter or some other bullshit.

then there is no choice and being alone is frigging awesome in comparison.

besides plenty of things one can really only do alone. creative artwork f.e and other shit.

Then there is the knowitall part humm well thanks LOL LOL LOL..
better then YOU?? that would have to be in YOUR HEAD lol
which was why I said( Hypothetical)

Last but not least and imho most important is smartest poor ppl in the world that ppl keep passing up thinking that because they are poor they have nothing to say or because they are not EDUCATED they have no brains lol. THIS is the true misconception of this world.This is like saying the best athletes are in the Olypics.
The comment was to say to you if you talk and interact with these ppl you would see that this part is NOT TRUE and YOU just might learn somthing was the point I was trying to get accross to you. There are more things on heaven and earth then are dreamed of in your mind sso hypothethical lol.. This post was was not a dig nore was the other one I'm just not very good at Making my points lol ,,, Sso you know I like you so why would I call you an asshole?? lol headband 707:)

One of these days we're going to dive Costa Rica. Haven't decided which side though as I've heard both are good diving, just different in nature; pelagics on the Pacific side, reefs on the Caribbean side.

"Oh yeah? Well...well...my Daddy can whup your Daddy....and...and mine is bigger than yours...and...and...I'm ALWAYS right and you're just ALWAYS wrong. Why doesn't everyone just see that I'm just smarter than everybody else?"

Yes, I do have a rather immense ego. j/k In my case I just realized most people just think I don't like people based on how I live, so why should I care or try to change that?. People are going to think what they want no matter what you do or say. It's pretty much true anyway as I do live alone now (wife died, children gone) in a rural area (no other house is even visible in the summer when the trees leaf-out) and keep to myself and mind my own business. I actually don't like the people around here much anyway (near Ala-fuckin-BAMA now, I'm from Central NY state).

So, in a word, no, I don't think it's wrong, or that unusual, especially given everything that has gone down in this world. But I do feel a twinge of guilt about my chosen life-style once in a while, but just a twinge and that feeling never lasts long.
