The word “hermit” means someone who chooses to live alone or
an early Christian living apart or a soft spicy cookie. It is also the name of
a certain crab that carries his home around with him, but we won’t go there.
So according to some more research it seems certain
Christians would go into the woods to contemplate. Meditation some would call
it. Evaluating belief against reality in the calm darkness of the trees and
woodland creatures.
It is not being misanthropic to choose to live a solitary
existence. Sometimes it is just the best way.
A reclusive lifestyle, while maintaining some contact for
the necessities of existence, requires a certain amount of understanding in
ones own strengths and weakness while being comfortable with the lack of
interaction with society.

Western religious hermits create a reality from belief; the Eastern ones move far beyond both.
