Christopher McCandless

what do you think of his life??

there are some controversies that there are people on youtube who look at his life idealistically, very hippy like and and yes, yes, we love the freedom and so they are more on the hippy camp,

and then there's the other camp....

who think this is ridiculous and just awful to go off into the wildnerness and die like that.

put in the right video...of his child upbringing and high school

and he has his sister.....who loved him very much...

he came from a well to do family.

she said he didn't have a big ego..

hm, does she really see him like that? because he has a lot of pride.

he was actually a very good student, did cross country, and did well in college too,

but he threw it all away for a wild free life.

Yeah I read the book, watched the movie.

Read some testimonies about him.

In my opinion, he was idealistic at best. He also wanted control of his destiny (who doesn't?) but he didn't make realistic plans.

And he paid a price for that.

I think he was an extremely lonely person who felt disconnected, but instead of exploring the reasons why he felt that way, he chose escapism.

I got that too. He had an extreme need for ESCAPISM.

and he had a promising life, career or whatever he sets his heart into.

he just didn't want that. he felt abhorred by the concept of what money would do.

yet weirdly when they found his belongings, he was also very good at keeping money stashed, in case of emergencies. He know how to keep money just in case.

I think he would have been a better businessman than a wilderness man.

Hard to take his journey seriously. Especially after learning he's an Aqua/Leo moon. Talk about a facepalm life.

Into the Wild however, grew on me overtime but that was more Sean Penn than Chris I think.

lol

he should have stayed SAFE somewhere in England. Happy and content.

Sean Penn gave him a more romantic /idealistic feel didn't it?

Saw the humanness in him and his journey.

the true story,

he was emotionally physically, verbally abused,

that could have been what made him choose a different life than his father..

who was accomplished.
