This seems to be a controversial post (getting upvotes and downvotes). But for the downvoters, also consider that his decision to remain isolated is a current one, but not necessarily an indefinite one.
He may come down with any illness or condition that causes him to change his mind at any point, but no longer in a condition to do anything about it. There are certain conditions that modern civilization makes coping with considerably easier, and it’s plausible that he would chose that over his current surroundings, but no longer able to change his surroundings.
That’s the question that keeps coming to my mind.
- garmaine 8y agoSo you, random person on the internet, are better suited at truly evaluating his wishes than himself?
- sandworm101 8y agoMaybe not, but a "random person" may well one day have to make that decision. Should this guy be injured, and that injury be made known to others, those others will have to decide how to handle the situation. When any of us become ill, ill to the point of not being able to sustain our own lives, outsiders take control. We wouldn't let a dog die in the woods with a broken hip. If this man broke his hip, rescue services would go in and remove him. We don't let people die horrible deaths no matter how much they may want to.
