You haven’t eaten from a restaurant in 4 years? You haven’t gone out to dinner or for a drink with anyone in 4 years ? Hmmm

  That's right. Do you think something is wrong with me?

    Not wrong, but several standard deviations outside of the norm.

    You're very strange. What line of work are you in?

    If a country is governed wisely, its inhabitants will be content. They enjoy the labor of their hands and don't waste time inventing labor-saving machines. Since they dearly love their homes, they aren't interested in travel. There may be a few wagons and boats, but these don't go anywhere. There may be an arsenal of weapons, but nobody ever uses them. People enjoy their food, take pleasure in being with their families, spend weekends working in their gardens, delight in the doings of the neighborhood. And even though the next country is so close that people can hear its roosters crowing and its dogs barking, they are content to die of old age without ever having gone to see it. While you're probably not this extremely content (maybe one std dev outside the norm, not several -- do you ever have dinner parties with guests at your place or a friend's place?), not everyone can live in such a manner, or even consider it. It's what I thought of when reading your comment, though.
