and lived the simple life of a hunter gatherer in the jungle.
It seems like such a relaxed and easy life style. No worries about having a job or what to do with your life. Living out in the wild and being one with nature.
It's such a simplistic lifestyle that I think would be more relaxing and fulfilling than the high paced world we live in now as part of modern society.
Heck, people are much kinder to one another in hunter gatherer societies and are very tight knit communities that help one another.
It's not without it's own problems of course. You're against the agents of nature but all in all you'd have less worries as you wouldn't have to worry too much about other humans harming you, so much as getting killed by nature and if I'm going to die, I'd rather nature do it, than mankind.
Just a thought...

Its not as simple.
Reddit has done enough ama's from people who have experienced it to let you know there are some serious every day worries with living disconnected from modern society.

It's all fine and dandy, until you get eaten by a jaguar. If I was going to forsake society, the last place I'd want to go would be the jungle. Literally everything there can kill you in horrible ways. I'd much rather go the way of Henry David Thoreau and remove myself just enough from society as to not be caught up in it, but still close enough to interact with it when necessary.

I was meaning more if I had been born into such a place and learned all of that when growing up if my life would be simpler than it is now.
One simply cannot drop out of modern society that easily. I'm fully aware of this. It was just me reflecting on the lives other people in the world live.
It wasn't something I was just going to get up and do.
Jeez, can't even have a reflective thought without people tearing it apart with such morbid and cynical things of you would die.

You would then wish you had the luxury of being born in a first world country.
I also don't see why you're complaining about the opinions of others when you posted your own personal muses onto a
discussion forum. What do you want people to say? Want me to lie to you, say that's an awesome idea and that you should do it, and then you do but then end up like Christopher McCandless? Or I could tell you to pick up this book and live vicariously through him rather than be a less impressive repeat of him.

Never said it was an awesome idea and that I would do it. I wouldn't do it. I just was doing a what if discussion. Wondering what it would be like to be in another person's shoes.
But I can see that you clearly don't understand that.
