Basically, he lost interest in sociological instinct. The modern foundation for out current society. Our life consists of education, poverty, work, and death. He understood that that's ridiculous. We don't need to be living on the internet, or in video games. The day's teens and children are seen as brash and defiant, but that's because our time is so much different.
Whoa, I went off on a whole 'nother tangent. Whatever, Eddie Vedder kicks ass.

I totally agree, and I would like to add something: What is best? To SURVIVE in a society that enchains you, that manipulates you and that blinds you from real beauties; or to LIVE the most you can, even if that means risking your life, the way you think it should be lived? Life itself is beautiful: If you think it isn't, open your eyes on all it can offers you. You will see that all you could find ugly is human-made.

RIR,
Who says he desired to live forever?

If only we had less and learned to give more this world would be such a better place to live in.

people he just made a mistake, when your weak and tired and the brains not functioning properly, u make mistakes and that mistake cost him his life. people come and go, young or old its apart of life. he lived and did more than most do in a lifetime.

You just don't get it Rooster. In the words of DiVinncci "Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. Do what you must, with the only regret being any moment when you might have chosen to do otherwise. "
Suicide is the choice to end your life because one feels life is no longer worth living. MaCandless died because the sort of existence most of us live today was unacceptable and ammounted to a premature spiritual death that would have preceeded the actual, physical one. Get it?

Sorry but that is total bullshit. McCandless did not sacrifice everything. He was desparate to live hence his note saying so. Total stupidity, which was sadly suicidal in this case. Still love the song, but I find his death to be sensless, and a squandered life of what was clearly a gifted and beautiful human being.

People have it wrong-this wasn't suicide. It's just something wer'e not used to seeing in our apathetic society-a willingness to sacrifice everything for your ideals, even your life. Which is more tragic? Dying doing what you want to do, and need to do in your heart, or passing the time in long years only to find out that what you had been living all that time-was not life? If you want the ultimate, be prepared to pay the ultimate price. |
