Yeesh. I don't get that he's being smug at all. I think he's just living in a way that he deems to be positive. He's not hurting anyone and he doesn't mooch off of others...I mean, he takes other people's TRASH. Things that were discarded in the first place. So what if his friends feed him from time to time? My parents and my friends feed me every once in a while, too.
I can understand why he might want to detach himself from conventional society. I was in the Peace Corps in Togo and that experience has made me realize how much excess we live with in much of the United States. And, we don't even think twice about it.
At least he's tried to have a positive impact on this world and if he's into being a cave hobo, so what? It seems like he's done a lot of helpful things in the past.
