There is simply a deep difference. Ruburt for example will enjoy and make use of whatever land he has, be it only the dirt in a window-sill plot.

This has something to do with your lack of action. You can for example find a comfortable compromise between isolation that is relatively complete, and an apartment in the heart of town.

Tangibles are important to him. I am simply trying to explain attitudes. Money in the bank does not emotionally excite him, though he realizes its benefits. It does not bring about his creative nature. Now real estate would, and he could double his investments easily, for he has a good idea of people in relation to dwellings, and of population movement. He is not aware of this.
