But even if he spoke a language that we could understand, he might not know how to answer that question. So many people are estranged from their families and are unable to explain how or why it happened.<br /><br />I do agree that we are all lucky here, because we can choose how much or how little we socialize. It's ultimately the ability to choose, and not the specific choice, that makes it freedom.

Maybe he has decided that it's more peaceful over there, albeit very slim pickings for food! It would be so interesting if he could talk and tell us why he chooses to stay. And he doesn't return his family's calls? Long time to hold a grudge. Ha! <br />I think we are all very lucky here - we can choose to socialize with friends / family....or not, as in Robinson's case.Nikkis Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900207220789667368noreply@blogger.com
