I wasn't talking to you and no, I haven't seen it first hand, but I have read a great deal about what living in rural America was like throughout this nation's history. It was just as I described, for many. The loneliness drove many insane. The weather killed many. The life was hard, dirty, harsh, and mostly unpleasant.

A village in Poland isn't what the person who yearned to live like a hermit was talking about. But it is extremely doubtful that he would last a week in such a village.

But since you enjoyed it, why don't you go back there and stay?

I enjoyed several different places but I cannot be everywhere. Anyway this village changed since my childhood and it is completely modernised.

My point is that the old way of life was not so hellish as some people think.
