Into the Wild (2007)

This is a real story...sometimes we are too selfish that we keep on thinking what people did wrong to us, how people mistreat us, how unfair the world is and we just want to leave all this behind and start on our own journey, the way we want it, the way it's meant to be...to find out own happiness...

Somehow, we will not be able to find that happiness, the way we want it anywhere...sometimes our happiness is just around us, not somewhere far away. We just need to realize that and start changing our perception on thing...true, we feel happy leading the life the way we want...but true happiness is not just about us, it's about sharing your life and making it meaningful to the people around you also...True happiness is when you know that people whom you love and love you the most are happy too...this is what and how I feel after 27 years in this world...sometimes it's hard...because each of us has our selfish side to take care of, but it's true...we just need to remind ourselves once in a while...

The movie below is just another moment in life that will remind us about that. God bless!

A young man leaves his middle class existence in pursuit of freedom from relationships and obligation. Giving up his home, family, all possessions but the few he carried on his back and donating all his savings to charity Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) embarks on a journey throughout America. His eventual aim is to travel into Alaska, into the wild, to spend time with nature, with 'real' existence, away from the trappings of the modern world. In the 20 months leading up to his Great Alaskan Adventure his travels lead him on a path of self-discovery, to examine and appreciate the world around him and to reflect on and heal from his troubled childhood and parents' sordid and abusive relationship. When he reaches Alaska he finds he has been insufficiently prepared for the hardships to come. Despite making it through the winter his plan is ill-judged and prepares to return home in spring, only to find the stream he crossed in the snow has become an impassable raging torrent and that he is trapped. With no means of sustaining himself adequately he eventually starves to death in his so sought after isolation. Throughout his epic journey the people he meets both influence and are influenced by the person he is and bring him to the eventual and tragic realisation that "Happiness is only real when shared".
