It can be a form of punishment and [[solitude]]. It is common to distinguish between internal exile, i.e., forced resettlement within the country of residence, and external exile, deportation outside the country of residence. Although most commonly used to [[describe]] an individual situation, the term is also used for [[groups]] (especially [[ethnic]] or national groups), or for an entire [[government]]. Terms such as ''diaspora'' and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugee refugee] describe group exile, both voluntary and forced, and government in exile describes a government of a country that has been forced to relocate and [[argue]] its legitimacy from outside that country. Exile can also be a self-imposed departure from one's homeland. Self-exile is often depicted as a form of [[protest]] by the person that claims it, to avoid [[persecution]] or legal matters (such as tax or criminal allegations), an act of [[shame]] or [[repentance]], or isolating oneself to be able to [[devote]] time to a particular thing. Article 9 of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights Universal Declaration of Human Rights] states that, "No one shall be subjected to [[arbitrary]] [[arrest]], detention or ''exile''." ==Quote== The [[average]] men of these times could not grasp, nor were they much interested in, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_philosophy Greek philosophy] of [[self-realization]] and an [[abstract]] [[Deity]]; they rather craved [[promises]] of [[salvation]], coupled with a [[personal]] [[God]] who could hear their [[prayers]]. They [[exile]]d the [[philosophers]], [[persecuted]] the remnants of the [[93:4 The Salem Religion|Salem cult]], both [[doctrines]] having become much blended, and made ready for that terrible [[orgiastic]] plunge into the [[follies]] of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_cults mystery cults] which were then overspreading the [[Mediterranean]] lands.
