Isn't this a defeat though? His paradise has been found, he's been kicked out of whatever little slice of peace and quiet he managed to build for himself. Who knows how long that cabin took to build, how many peaceful afternoons that are now just memory?

Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

Find a new paradise. West Coast's got a whole lot of forests. I honestly feel that the feeling of having built the place and being solely responsible for it and everything would be one of the best parts. It would be such proof of your abilities and independence. I would do it twice if I had to.
