I noticed that when we form our opinion about what's important, and the world around us, it separates us from those who think differently (in some cases). At a young age, our minds were simpler, but then they get jammed up with philosophy, world issues, politics, religion. I have trouble being around the people who drink obsessively. We just don't have anything in common. I also gave up hunting and religion. That really puts me out there on a limb, away from my old crowd.
