I've always wanted to just leave for a few months. I want to just go into a forest with only a knife or something and just live. I would think that would be the ultimate way or proving to yourself that you deserve to live. You wouldn't be depending on any other human being. You would be completely separated from the modern world and go back to how humans were naturally meant to live. Like animals. We do belong to the animal kingdom.
The understanding that you control your whole life is there. Every action you do will render consequences. Realization that you are insignificant to the world without the side affect of being depressed would be a great thing to experience. What a great contrast.
There is no time for any of this peace and quiet is anyone's schedule though. Perhaps there is in summer for students, but not for me because I take classes in the summer to get ahead. Damn the system.
Anyway, back on living in the forest... You would learn your greatest strengths and weaknesses and learn how to use them to your advantage, in the case of the strength, or learn how to deal with it, in the case of the weakness.
Yea I think that's all I have to say.
Sorry if this is badly written or didn't make much sense, but I'm pretty tired and about to go to bed.

To figure out this quandary of events, I looked to... well.. they took everything except my grand funk memory! After infusions of pain killing things I found god and some reason and why I was there

There was a time when I wanted to live in a cave... But the smell of bat shit and occasional bear attacks would probably get to you after a while...
