Differentiating between Wandererness and mental disorders

[Diana]

This is a good question. The answer may lie in how one reacts to the idea of being a wanderer.

If one feels a sense of purpose kindled as a result of identifying with the wanderer concept, and is spurred to be of service (or greater and more conscious service), then perhaps one is remembering the wanderer's mission.

If the idea of being a wanderer chiefly affects self-esteem, or validates behaviors that do not serve self and others, perhaps the focus could be how to find balance within one's self, rather than feeling one's different-ness is now explained and justified.

A wanderer, upon remembering or identifying with being here as a volunteer, I think, would cease to focus on being different, and get on with the business of the mission.
