My description:
Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty; ethical and moral behavior; respect for the sanctity of all life, which includes being veg*n; not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; giving people the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; concern for the vulnerable and the disabled; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But good people with similar values come from many paths in life, the ultimate expression of which is being a mensch or, as Confucius termed it, a junzi, someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words, and who thereby experiences true happiness and satisfaction in life. Enjoy hiking, being in nature, learning, artistic creativity, and dry humor (but not sarcasm). Introverted and sometimes lost in thought, but hopefully thoughtful in more ways than one! Look for ways to help others while avoiding self-serving feelings like validation and pride. Empathetic to the point that it can sometimes cause distress. Adventurous but also risk-averse. Vegan for 35 years.
I live in the desert, which, it has been said, teaches humility, not only because we are dwarfed by the majestic mountains and the expansive valleys but also because we are humbled by the miraculous, mind-blowing adaptations that allow life in all its forms to not merely survive but thrive in the most challenging of environments. Nature is our teacher and helps us improve our character traits.
Stopped practicing clinical medicine almost 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically in the current environment. This is something few people outside the sphere of medicine can understand, because they lack knowledge of both the science and the culture of medicine today. Besides, most people have a psychological need to believe that things are being done in their best interests. What is urgently needed is a system in which people view their work as a calling and shed themselves of any self-interest. Have authored the website on the subject, citing the aforementioned values and more.

Seeking:
Someone with shared values, good character traits, and a compatible way of life. Nos différences font notre richesse (Our differences will be our wealth). Just be yourself. A good relationship is one in which you are thinking about what you can do for the other person, not about what that person can do for you. An ideal relationship is one in which one party knows what the other is thinking without a word having been uttered. Love the Chinese proverb "The word 'forbearance' is a home's treasure."
As an only child, I learned to cope with being alone. But "[i]t is not good for a person to be alone" (Genesis 2:18). What I'm seeking, then, is companionship and more: interdependence, nearness, intimacy, oneness, and love.
