An interesting thot, some Travelers hate people. And yet Mark Twain said
"Travel is fatal to prejudice,bigotry and narrow-mindedness."
All of which imply human interaction.
hoz
Prejudice and Bigotry go hand in hand, a bigot is a person that has prejudices.
I will go along with Mark on the Narrowminded part, not sure I agree on the Prejudice and Bigotry part.
Hard to take some cultures serious.
HI Mr. Andy,
Whew! Not exactly a word you will hear at the supper table. I had to study up on that one. From the little bit Ive read I would conclude on my own, the term roughly describes Ted Kaczynski types(aka Unabomber). Certainly not the footloose and fancy free, king of the road hobo.
What I read is apparently an occupational hazard of being an author. They were the examples cited almost exclusively that become befuddled, mind boggled and extremely exasperated with humankind. Curious lack of Kings of Industry or Wizards of Wallstreet or some such doer not dreamer.
Being a huge Star Trek fan, I hesitate to say a misanthrope would seem to be most comfortable in the make believe world back at Star Fleet Command. There is no more hunger or sickness, all species speak the same language, dress in uniform, have a common mission or goal, and a simple voice command to some omnipotent computer will meet every need. IN a nutshell I dont believe a traveling hobo misanthropist could live by his wits, dealing with the real world toe to toe Absolutley not to the degree of a hobo on lifelong expedition. Just seems a misanthrope would bust a gasket somewhere along the line.
I just had a thought!
Might misanthropist best describe TOURIST?? hehe.
Take care farmboy.
Very interesting post there Andy. I would imagine that someone that hated people would have to be quite content with them self. I could imagine the internal struggles that one might have and I'm certainly glad that I am free of that.
With that said I don't hate people in general, just certain people.
