It's like jamming a toothbrush way<br>deep into your works. Gives you a good clean scrubbin' even if it knocks <br>some gross stuff loose. But you can't get clean unless you bring out<br>the crap. <br><br>Why not go camping? Or hell, just go for a good long hike now and then.<br>There's a reason why there's a stereotype of a family man going out to<br>a lake to fish. You get that real alone time, that real peace, that <br>the urban NEET only gets to enjoy maybe 1, 2% of. <br><br>Diogenes had it mostly figured out. You gotta remember though, he was<br>playing the role of a teacher. The really important Cynics are the guys <br>you never hear about. That's why Diogenes gave up some of his precious<br>solitude. Don't give me any shit about how he was enlightened so being a<br>social guy was no issue for him either. You know he suffered for his <br>students and it was an act of great love. <br><br>If you're a shut-in NEET but still hanging out online, watching stuff, reading<br>stuff, well, you're halfway there. But you go out in the woods without any<br>kind of man-made entertainments, just raw-dogging nature, you're through the<br>door. <br><br>Re: bed sheets -- I just wash based on smell, texture, whatever. If they seem<br>off, they are off. Simple ways are best.
