What living like a nomad really is:

One of the reasons I quit being a pilot was because of that lifestyle: my life consisted of 2 bags and hotel rooms. If you don't stay at least in a couple of places, you will have no friends. You will be alone, always. You will never develop true connections to another human being. Being alone will affect your personality and judgement. Co-workers do not count, just as you diablo 3 friends. When you talk to me on IRC you create a distorted version of me, based upon your life experience. Specially in poor languages like english. Understanding others is way harder than it seems. It envolves much more than just conversations.

My father was a pilot for 37 years, he currently does not have one single friend except me. Not because he can't make friends, but I think people realize that his feelings against others are superficial. He wont care because having friends never changed his life, he is just fine, but: He experienced very little fulfilling moments in all that period of his life.

Life is not simple. Throwing away stuff will not make life better, or worse.

TLDR, How the hell are you going to solve human problems if you don't develop deep human relations?



    Specially in poor languages like english.
How is English poor?


My interpretation is that the grandparent either has poor English skills himself, or is describing the difficulty of socializing with people who have poor English skills.


Most human problems are the result of human relations
