We are living insane times. Less and less freedom of any kind, more and more problems and fear and restrictions. How many of you isolated themselves in their apartments from the crazy world outside? How many of you said one day: I had enough of you and your rules, your taxes paid for no results for HUNDREDS of years and your stupid and sick society. I am sure no monk from Tibet is inside this community so take this 'isolation' as a metaphor.
And secondly, how many of you started to practice what I call 'internet earnings', as a full time job? Can you be somehow specific? Can it be a realistic way of living?

In a certain degree, I have. And I know some other people too, some in a bigger way than me. I have a friend who sold his house, bought a safari jeep and took off to Africa to work as a contributor photographer for a big news agency. He crossed the continent, down to Kenya, alone or with a guide for some parts. I'd say he qualifies a little better, I'm not that extreme. But I don't give a damn about taxes and many of the rules (not all, but not because there are laws, more cause of common sense). I quit my job, after I realized I got bored of it. About internet earnings, I can't tell you much, I suppose it's like any other thing: if you want to make money out of it, you will. If you want to get rich by doing as little as possible, you won't make money. Like anything else in life, money require passion.
