I second that. Live in a van, on a mountain, doing what I love, that brings me meaning... and the longer I spend out here, the happier I become and the more delusional the claim that any of the stuff apparently of importance in current affairs appears... we don't have to spend our lives bothering about what's going on halfway round the world or to countless people who just can't work out that this is a beautiful world and a beautiful life worth living... so, these days, I just have no time for it really, there's too many beautiful views to look at, too many birds to appreciate, too many interesting projects to put together, too many new ideas to realise. 🙂 If only more people would realise that, but, they have to learn it themselves. Protect your own peace of mind and think about what's in front if your eyes. ...If a war comes, for example, these days I just don't care unless I see a tank rolling over the moor here, its just more of some other person's foolishness, it'll always be there so why waste time on it, you can't fix it but you can let it be and do something wonderful yourself.

I believe what you have said is true. I was just walking my poor old dog ( she is 14 and has been sick lately ) and thinking to myself at my age of 63, how tired I am of the world around me and at how withdrawn and hateful people are now. I have decided to stay to myself and pro-sue hobbies I enjoy and to worry less about this bitter place. I always make an effort to say hello to people I come across on my walks, but have found that most of them just stare at me and say nothing. Especially the younger folk. I have been turning off the news a lot more, because it started making me feel physically ill to watch anymore. I am now determined to pro-sue that peace you are talking about. I have come to realize that we are all just passing through this place anyway. Especially with the number of people I knew who are now gone. It is up to me to enjoy the time I have left here.

Bjorn I am the same age as you and had similar 1980s upbringing. My “heart attack” came in the form of breast cancer six years ago. This was followed by a very strong call back to nature, which I answered. Only to find that the nature I found myself in was being exploited beyond belief. They tried to push me out when I stood up to them, but they found a brick wall. It would have been easier to walk away, but leaving the river, the trees and the animals in the care of evil people was not an option.

My husband and I escaped 25 years ago, moved back to our rural past and to grow food to sell. Our income went down by two thirds. We hardly noticed. All those years of making money in jobs where we received no respect ( except from the amazing kids!), all so that we could afford to live in the place that was causing us so much stress- what a waste! What a drain on our mental and physical health it was too. My husband is now 82, today he is scythe mowing our hay field. If your life is not satisfactory to you, change it now!No excuses are valid.

Earlier this year I decided to quit my job as an industrial maintenance technician and begin working the small farm I was privileged to inherit from my parents, it was the best thing I have ever done, no more pressure and stress of the sort I had to deal with on a daily basis, there is stress and pressure but it's different, working with livestock has it's stressful times but it's more fulfilling and rewarding, more real. I often just stand in the middle of my farm and observe nature and my stock and I think of the generations that have worked this land and walked these fields before my time, there's a real feeling of deep connection to my forefathers and it brings a lot of peace and contentment, and now I also have the time to indulge my other passion which is working on the classic cars I've acquired over the years.

You're correct in what you say. The world is geared for us to not be at peace. Over population, false economic pressures, false ideals and programming by the media and internet.

I've had to walk away from many family and friends the past couple of years after a lifetime. Peace is coming, a little at a time. The realization that the direction one has taken in life has been the wrong one is not easy to accept, and making big changes is even more difficult.

I think the best thing I ever did was cut out negative people 20 or so years ago. Happy? Happiness is fleeting. I'm content with my life and have never felt better. I can work as much as I want from my home in a quiet area next to woods and farmland on the edge of a large town, the loudest sounds mostly are birdsong. Nothing phases me, I don't get stress or anxiety. *Most problems are inside your head, and how you see and react to what's around you, and sometimes changing the environment isn't the cure.
