You sound to me to be an excellent/intelligent/resourceful/sensitive human being/soul.

Quote:First example.... me
I tend to be an extremist, in anything I do. One manifestation of that extremism was my multi-year canoe voyage, which was designed to test if I could survive and thrive without the baggage of modern society. I took no money, portable phone, radio, credit cards, etc. I did take my pet bird. Over a period of years, I traveled from the Gulf of Mexico to the Beaufort Sea, on streams, rivers, lakes, oceans, and overland. I foraged for my food and was self-sufficent for transport and shelter. My bird was my teacher. I went completely feral and relied on instinct, rather than intellect. The longer I traveled, the more I avoided human contact. When I ended the voyage, upon entering a small city, I realized that I was completely insane and that I needed to re-integrate, slowly. I have re-integrated, somewhat. I treasure and maintain some of my insane skills.

Well, i think you manifested a place that most of only dare to dream/entertain;you actually experienced a world alone,with no external influences,albeit natural ones,no social compliances or worries of 'what people may thnk'.
This would have made an excellent study for anthropologists-not that i mean you 'fit' into any category and I wouldn't even wish to go there.
You've proven that you are and mankind is inately self-sufficient and that social indoctrinations have no effect on the quality of one's development,on the contrary...!
