Hermits, do you know one, or are one? Why do live away from society?

I think that hermits just are completely content with themselves and their lives, that they don't need other people to hurt them.  Maybe they've been hurt in the past, and don't ever want that again.  I'm pretty sure that once in while they think what they are missing out on though, but think it's not worth the cost.  Sometimes I think I am a hermit.

not everyone fills their life with animals if they live alone, heck some people love being alone and don't even like animals, but for the  rest of us its just  human nature to  have some one or some thing to love, take care of protect and share life with..loneliness propels many to fill that void...for many it gives them a reason to live and find joy in life... think how depressed these people would be if they were totally alone ...scientifically it has been proved that people thrive with affection  , touching and  love and wither without it.

I am Catholic but i was not raised too strictly, sometimes i make my own beliefs. in my opinion there are lots of people out there that fit the word "saint" who are working, in a quiet way or not, to help others selflessly, and in turn bring out the good in others.

We live because human beings have properties which aid survival. Better said: Only those types of human beings that had properties, strongly helping survival, are those which still live today.

People who live in heavens do so because they have wealth that they have either inherited or earned or swindled. There are two types of people in this materialistic world - the 'haves' and the 'have nots'.

For most it is actually a drive to be closer to something because the obsessed ones are always fairly clingy and lonely.\nFor others they join religions hoping to get a quick path to the answers to their questions, allowing them to evlove faster. Proof of that is in the constant praying for private desires to come.\nAnd then the last group are the ones who believe just because of tradition. (Got to believe in something, right?) that's what my friend said to me the other week on his way to church.\n\nanyway. Hope i cleared something up

If we had houses, we'd never get up off the couch except to go to work, and we'd grow to hate ourselves because we would've openly chosen this dead lifestyle, and we'd build fences to separate ourselves from eachother, and forget what it means to survive and to have real companionship with our fellow man - er, avatar. We're all just ghost people, and ghost people are wanderers by nature.

what kind of gothic are you and why do you think you are different from others

Aren't we the same?  We're animals that inhabit this planet, the same as many others.  What sets humans apart?  The idea that we have a soul?  That is very debatable and has never been proven or disproven to exist but the same could be said for animals possessing souls.  The fact that many believe that only humans have souls only proves that our egos WANT to believe ourselves somehow better.  In many ways we are superior to the other animals, hence our dominance of the planet.  But also in many ways we are far inferior to other animals.  So where is the balance?

I am a bit of a hermit myself.\n\nI fancy myself on not really needing anyone.  I only call people out of courtesy at the most...\n\nSo... I would say that some negative behavior that I see from myself is that...\n\nI'm quick to get angry at someone who came at me the wrong way.... then again most of the time I laugh at it and continue on my way.\n\nYou think... ALOT...  You start to realize just how stupid everyone is around you and with those thoughts(you really can't shake it) you don't want to concern yourself with certain types.\n\nA friend of mine told me I need to learn how to deal with people.  Because, as I said, I rather nip the ish in the bud to begin with.\n\nI am an open-minded person... always has been, always will be.\n\nYou start to get into your own little world.  It's easy to block people out.  \n\nI have somewhat of a "bachelor's pad" as well....\n\nSo... are you talking about involuntary isolation or voluntary choosing to be a hermit.\n\nYou start to see society as what it truly is.

Hi Tammy, Yes I believe in Ghosts and the paranormal.  I belong to two groups here in wiscinsin, although there is not very much activity up north  where I am.  Foolish of people to think that we alone walk this earth. I wish more people could believe, then maybe our ghostly friends would apear more often and also find resolution in why they are here.

not really sure... what I have learned form studying about the spiritual side is... spirits want to inhabit a living being..not an object... yet they can be around the object waiting for a person to use it ....How true that is I am not sure.\n The bible says...always  and only...spirits in people or a living being (pigs)

Good question!  Though I believe in an afterlife, I do not base all of my actions around it.  I live my LIFE!

Many were raised to beleive that material things makes the person. Others are pressured at school and work, and think in order to fit in that they have to have the best of everything. Others just don't plain care about anything but themselves and what they can do for themselves. So many people are just lost in this world. When we die and cross over, noone will be taking their Ipods or any material possesions with them..only their soul and the memories of what they did while they were on Earth...Unfortunately, too many people just live for the now, and others don't believe in the afterlife at all which gives them free reign to be selfish and self centered.

We could all use it. The Quakers do well without many things.   No they don't all have farms. \n Oprah showed how a few goats or chickens can start a life for some-or other livestock. Some had to get water from miles away for the day.\n We can all do without many things, but not many want too.\n\nNo one likes to answer questions like these-it means self examination
