"I wanted movement and not a quiet life. I wanted excitement and danger, and the opportunity to sacrifice for love. I felt so full of energy I could not pipe it through peaceful life we \u200b\u200bhad. "
Leo Tolstoy, Family Happiness
regularly at this time of year, I get a terrible desire to leave everything to drift, grab my backpack, and throw a few things to hit the road. This course, with a naïve sense of what is actually required to achieve such an undertaking and, when I think carefully, there is something more powerful than me back to do it: fear.
Chris McCandless was not a naive, much less a coward. At 22, the only thing I had in mind when leaving the University was to leave everything and go to be tested, not against the civilized world, but against nature. And he had the intelligence to do so. For two years he lived in accordance with its rules, she clung to a life where only he could decide on their path. His mistakes just demonstrate as the book's author, Jon Krakauer, his inexperience and lack of specific data, and well, I think Chris knew very well that his adventure could end badly.
On Sunday I read the book "Into the Wild" and I was thinking all day in the minds of people who prefer the nomadic life, with no ties or roots, no complex social experiences. How can these people survive in a city full of niche occupied structures, full of people with rules and behavior? What if you're born into a family nomadic institutionalized? Sure you go crazy or at least send you to a psychiatrist for what you think. Life is made by molding, and any change seems or an aberration or stupid. But while other mold will be nomadic and secure everything will be fine for today's misfits. So three cheers for Alex Supertramp, for teaching at least that Mark Twain was right when he said that travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow minds.
Chris was launched from the front, just to live, which very few know face.
Now, I put the song that I'll be hearing all week, because I am an obsessive, the official video of the movie that I still have to achieve.
