Not really, many have done the same. Being the midst of noisy society, can keep you do distracted, that you miss what is going on around you. It gives more time to think about what makes sense, and what does not make sense in the society that I live in. I have met quite few interesting people in my life and still do with the tourists that com to my shop. Women like to talk about wide variety of subjects. Young men are surprised that I don't play the usual old man games and encourage them to be their actual self and to treat their ideas as being worthwhile. Kid are surprised to see that I talk to them and listen to their ideas, instead of their parents. I just remember what each age felt like to me and then enjoy the various people. I have a lot of fun with the various reactions I get doing this whether I get a sale or not. Most seem to enjoy this unexpected play of ideas.
