“Excommunication is still one of the harshest fucking punishments you can be doled out by society. When nobody likes you, it’s hard to stay happy. Even in jail you can have friends and talk to people. In a city, hardly anyone will be around you, and even if they do, you can see it makes them miserable; it hurts them. It’s not a very good feeling. It makes you feel like you are really alone even though you are surrounded by other people. Although, it’s cool because I see how adoptable the human spirit is to solitary confinement and no human contact. If we were just suddenly thrust into the woods alone for 10 years, the level to which you would adopt would probably amaze you.”
