It is obvious that he has betrayed his principles but he has not become as engagé in the war as Pyle. During the novel we learn that Fowler’s main principle is his detachment. This is incredibly important for Fowler along with his ability to deal with external things and not his own thoughts and feelings and the fact that he has “no real opinion about anything”. He tries to hide his expressions of emotions and opinions from those around him particularly Phuong and Pyle. He is very quick to correct himself if he believes he is beginning to take a side or become involved.

Buddha was not happy to leave the view of life this way so he identified five “skandas”: 1) the shock at labor, 2) the “pathology” of illness, 3) the illness of weakness, 4) the fear of passing away, and 5) to be attached with something an individual loathes or 6) to be unattached with something an individual appreciates (Smith, pg. 102).

The DSM IV symptom criteria for Social Phobia is A persistent fear of performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or situations, fearing that they will act in a humiliating or embarrassing way.

I think that this pessimism of his is a way to protect himself from his own weaknesses, and that he do this partly so that he can forget how boring and unfair the adult life can be, easily said he does not wont to grow up because he is afraid that he will realize his own flaws and be crushed emotionally because of this hard realization.
