into the wild (post 4)

i wished to acquire the simplicity, native feelings, and virtues of savage life; to divest myself of the factitious habits, prejudices and imperfections of civilization;.... and to find, amidst the solitude and grandeur of the western wilds, more cerrect views of human nature and of the true interests of man.the season of snows was preferred, that i might experience the pleasure of suffering, and the novelty of danger. ( pg. 157) i have never read a more perfect quote in a book in my life, taht is the true vision. you cant truelly find yourfself or see the good in people unless you see them without all the material surroundings hiding there true self.

I deffinately agree with you. Now-a-days people care way too much about material things. We need to pay more attention to what really matters, and that is the people around us.
