No matter how much one may love the world as a whole, one can
live fully in it only by living responsibly in some small part of it. Where we
live and who we live there with define the terms of our relationship to the
world and to humanity. We thus come again to the paradox that one can become
whole only by the responsible acceptance of one's partiality.

Does this mean it's okay to be a hermit?
Ms. Moon,
I don't give a flying fuck whether it is okay or not. Hermit is in my future. Definitely. I'm starting to prefer animals to people.
