Happiness Only real when Shared...

Into the Wild, Passion, Privilege

McCandless, travelled to find his meaning of happiness and what it is to feel it. He came from a wealthy family and could have anything he wanted if he pleased, but that was not happiness to him. He moved away to free himself from the privilege he was born in. He went to college with the help of his parents and didn't feel that Harvard or a degree meant anything. His parents were very privileged, they wanted to buy him a new car and pay for Harvard but McCandless didn't want it. He didn't feel that any of that meant anything to his life, that it was just a way to fulfill his parents wishes and not his. His parents also showed privilege when they arrived at the restaurant to celebrate his graduation a group of men walked in shouting and howling and the mom and dad made remarks such ass "they are going to stay over there right?" and things that made it seem like they would have stood up and want them out of the restaurant if he wanted to he probably could with money. Besides all of that I feel he was not happy and wanted to find his meaning of life without his parents help.

He was passionate about his travels and his great Alaskan trip. He put his all into the trip and told everyone about it. He felt destined to go there and his drive for the trip was pure passion. He was passionate about life and feeling happy about nature and god creations. “You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living.”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild   he knew his life would be different and feel something he had never felt before. He didn't want human love because all that brought was put downs and mother nature was just that and could not intentionally do you wrong, you just have to get to know it.
