LONELINESS - living alone on REMOTE ISLAND

  • Eva and her family live an isolated life on the remote island of Stóra Dímun, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. While they are geographically isolated, they never feel lonely.
    'Loneliness is not dependent on if you are alone or have people around you. It's a feeling you have inside.' - Eva úr Dímun
    For Eva it's the small things, those small good moments, that are important in life.

The people from cities are stressed causing them to be rude and arrogant. They are always running here and there. They need to take time to stop and enjoy nature and things around them to calm them down.

      Even when the cows start mooing in unison when you are trying to take a nap or get to sleep it is like a lullaby. I have such wonderful memories of spending all my summers on my Aunt and Uncles farm. We had everything: Cows, Horses, Sheep, Goats, dogs, cats, birds, deer out in the woods, we fished in our pond and had well water. We also had a massive garden where we grew our own vegetables and shared with all our neighbors which were all a few miles away from us, but they always came over to work the land. We did it together and we all ate together and had the most wholesome and wonderful life. I learned to drive an old Ford Truck when I was 10 years old on the farm and all the neighbors said that it was the perfect age to learn..giggles. We all rode our horses and had picnics by the pond or lake...we never once thought anything about sunscreen probably because we all had so much dirt on our faces from hard work.
      On Sunday's we would all go to church, most of us wearing our overalls and the girls in jeans or sundresses. We all had fried chicken, potato salad, apples pies made from our apple trees (an applesauce of course) and all kinds of pies and green beans and corn on the cob. Let's just say that a meal like that tastes so amazing after a hard days work on the farm.
      Your comment meant a lot to me because when summer was over and I was back in the city I could hardly stand the noise from the cars and the neighbors. Once you have enjoyed a whole summer of animals, family, gardening and fishing, etc. it is hard to come back to the city.
      When I retire I hope to live where there is a lot of beautiful nature around me.

      @@hariseldon3786 Why is it selfish to live on that island, and more to point, why do you feel that this was presented as being 'virtuous'? They obviously have some sort of off-island income and supplement their food by producing locally. This is no different than living off of the road system in some place like an isolated Alaskan village. In ancient times, famine and death were common in these villages too. Much the same in villages around the world at different points in history that now benefit from better technology and transportation infrastructure to allow for living in such places better than generations prior. She lives in a multi-generation family location, that alone seems like justification for living in hard conditions as they do. Much like a family still living in their traditional village in Alaska. What is sad is your judgement of this lady and her family based on your own societal and cultural biases. Her children will be fine without your sanctimonious 'concern' for their well being.

And you spend your summer evening milking cow and feeding chicken without thinking about what others are doing. If I was born here, this would be a priceless memory and an escape haven for me to come back whenever you need to deal with future worries from society.

So, we take the video at its face without knowing what is really behind it, and at its face everything looks beautiful. Other than that, we are approaching 8 billion mark, and and 8 billion people could not live in isolation on this planet. After all, humans are social beings.

      @illuminOz The island has a regular helicopter service twice a week. In the part of the world where this island is located, there are services provided for the citizens, so you don't have to own your own helicopter (or pay your medical bills), since those costs are shared by everyone through taxes. It works pretty neatly.

    • @ktb183
      @ktb183 3 роки тому +1

      @illuminOz Sure, but you see, if people and companies share the cost, i.e. the way it is done in Northern Europe, it works very well, as opposed to the US, where everyone has to fend for themselves.

    • @ktb183
      @ktb183 3 роки тому +1

      @illuminOz Yes, I must be naive. I am Scandinavian, so I know the system;) As you might have noted, these are the Faroe Islands. No highways, no trains (very expensive as I'm sure you know), no bridges. This helicopter probably serves more islands than this one. Anyway, I think it is kind of silly to criticise a system that you apparently do not know at all, and judge it by your own standards.

    Imagine living in a place where everyone and all the systems aren't telling you what you have to do; grow up to take out tens of thousands in loans so you can get a degree and get a job so you can become another consumer and get more stuff and pay more interest and all along the way put relationships and people to the side, or worse. What most of us think is freedom is a trap and we don't know it until the chance is lost.

      @Kanikapila Ho'ohanai How much support is required for people to live this lifestyle in the 21st century though? I doubt the helicopter route is break -even, let alone profitable. She's worried about the Internet, I doubt that they got wireless Internet on the island because it's profitable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the lifestyle, or the people. They were there before all that. I'm saying the lifestyle as presented is made possible by a whole community of people supporting each other both on the island and in the larger Faroe Islands community. It's not rugged individualism that makes it go.

    I live alone on 20 acres in South Carolina, and run a farm. All my food is produced on my land so i dont need to go shopping for it. I order almost everything i need from the internet so i dont go shopping for clothes or tools. I can count the amount of times i stepped off my property on two hands annually. Its not so different from their lifestyle. I would really enjoy living on that island.
    Im curious why they dont use a ship for travel, a quick rope climb down from the cliff and off onto the boat. Helicopters are extremely expensive to maintain.

      450 ewes live on the island. They produce 300-400 sheepskin per year, plus lots of renowned turnips that benefit from the guano-enriched soil. There are also guest cottages. 10-14 people from 2 families live on the island. The capital is not far, which they visit and where they even attend school. The helicopter visits twice per week with supplies and sometimes even tourists. So they are not as alone, isolated, remote, poor, or naturally-living as you might think. That doesn't take away from the beauty and peacefulness of the place, nor the hard work it takes.
