I had a dream last night.

I was walking through these factories, well more like sweat shops, in third world countries. People being paid almost nothing, murdered, and beaten. women children men.

And there I was walking down a sidewalk with all of these terrible stares coming from these people.

I asked my "spirit guides" (Yes i have two that frequents me in dreams) "why do they hate me"
They said, "because they suffer so you can live the lifestyle you do"

I looked down and saw I had a leather duffel bag FULL of money and felt like shit. I wanted to run and give the money to all of these people but knew I couldn't.

End of dream. long story short I have been thinking very seriously about moving into the wilderness somewhere and leaving this capitalistic and selfish society behind. I could find true enlightenment I would be free to think without distraction I just think it might be for the best.




The wilderness is full of selfish animals capitalizing on each other, creatures in constant pursuit of personal gain while giving very little "consideration" to the livelihood of their contemporaries.

Quite beautiful out there, nonetheless.

The fact is, people who run away wish to find some beautiful utopian oasis or paradise. Sometimes they look in themselves, sometimes they like to run away to the wilderness. Eventually they'll have to face facts about the cruel nature of existence and survival.

Why are you going then? You're either running away from something or running too something. Either way you'll have to face reality.

All I got from your original post is that you had a dream and you're running away from a capitalistic society and want 'enlightenment'. Sounds pretty naive and immature to me. :shrug:

i think that most people would like to try this but are long past their ability to do so and are sort of jealous by the idea that someone else can do it and they didn't even try. i myself did it but now i have too many responsibilities to go back. i can only camp for a day or two now. you're right though, i hate society and wanted to live in the old growth where it was in no danger of being cut down. i am sort of sorry that i didn't just go and live with and become a treesitter and deal with the real problems in this society. i was hiding from the law though over a marijuana manufacture charge.

That guy was sheltered from reality by his family. He wasn't trying to run away from society, he was trying to find out wtf was going on in the world and what the world and life was about cause his family wouldn't let him know shit. Only after his 'englitenment' (which happened after years and years of discipline) did he shit all over the caste system.

He wasn't arguing, he asked an intelligent question. You're the only philistine with your hippie bullshit.

Thats exactly the type of lay-down-and-take-a-dick-in-the-ass attitude that explains why our society today is so shitty. The guy wants to do something that, while its not an original idea, probably .2 percent of Americans actually try.
But no, you're telling him to forget his idealistic thoughts and plans? To lay down and conform to our disgusting, disconnected, thoughtless society?
Right. That sounds like good advice to me. The only part of what you said that I agree with is the end where you tell him to do it.

Once again, I don't know why people are being so discouraging.
Are you really that unhappy with your own lives that you have to berate and tear down someone who has a plan of escape?
You're like life inmates ripping on someone elses plan of escape, because you've lost hope and you don't want to see anyone else clutching to any hope or shred of success escaping.

Agreed.

Even if he does go "into the wild", it will only be for a few days, a week tops.
How is that going to change anything?
It won't.
At best he will understand why we have built our society this way....it is easier than trying to go it alone.

Sorry, that post wasn't meant to be solely directed at you, but more at everyone being negative in this thread and I happened to quote you since you were one of the last people posting.

I'll admit he is being idealistic, and so am I in wishing to go live in the wild.  But you know what?  If we, or anyone else on this board tries it, they'll get woken up.  They'll see what its really like, and be able to report back, and at least their points of view will have changed.  We'll either want it more, or see that its not really what we wanted or expected at all.
Right now, I want it desperately, and I'm going to try it this summer.  Whether I get a rude awakening or not, at least I'll be happy in knowing I tried, and I'll know if its something I want to repeat.
And, I wont have to daydream about it anymore.

But, ever since I was a kid, like 8 years old, I've felt like we've been living the wrong way, and have always wanted to go 'into the wild'.  I think its something I need to do, and that I'm capable of.
Anyhow, I'll report back this summer.

Hell, at least its something to do  :shrug:
