I have found that there are alot of hermits here, or this is how alot of you would describe yourself,
this being my first dip into the pool of philosophy,
I was wondering if you also would describe yourself as a hermit or anchorite or recluse?
And more so do you think philosophers tend to be this way, tend towards segregation?
Do you think it more likely a philosopher will be produced for someone who spends more time with their own thoughts than sharing them with others?
And in being so do you think they can view humanity and all the wonderous things that goes on 'better' 'detached' than a more active participant in humanity?
Are we not blind?
Or do we not see clearer?
Is philosophy the go to world of the anchorite, hermit, recluse?

The technique of conscious contemplation leads to an understanding of one'splace in the universe. More adept contemplators gain an understanding of the places of the things around them in them in the universe as well.

In society, the things around us were created by the hands of men, with each individual's intent included in its inception. For those learning to understand the things around them it is easier when one is surrounded only by the things of nature and not the creations of man.

Almost every spiritual master leaves the things of men behind for some time and embraces only the things of god. Its a purification technique and produces significant results.
