A Few Words from the Great Aristotle

Aristotle brings up a most interesting point here.

A college friend of mine used to go off alone into the mountains for weeks at a time during vacations, which fulfilled him greatly.

I tried it once shortly after we graduated, for a few days, rather than weeks.  Like my buddy, I took a few books and a bit of weed.  I wasn’t miserable, but it wasn’t an experience that I wish to repeat.

Apparently, I’m neither a “wild beast” nor “a god.”  Something, perhaps, I should have known going in.
