The fuse of Christopher's defection was a conflict with his father, which was actually a long-planned plan, but the reason was still focused on the pain the family brought him. Father's tyranny, parents' quarrels and lies, there are not a few cases where this kind of family discord brings harm to children, but no one is as decisive as Christopher. Defection is rebellion, and it is against everything that the antigen has endured first, but there is one more form of defection than rebellion. The gesture of staying away, facing away, people can't see his panic, in fact, he is healing.
What if he doesn't die?
It seems that Thoreau only stayed in the jungle for two years, and then he left the hut, which naturally ended all his original life. He was doing an experiment, in order to verify that people can live more naturally. It can be understood that he is eager to tell people all these discoveries. In fact, Thoreau was lonely. He was so eager to tell others about his feelings and experiences. He actually left to come back.
What about the fate of Supertripper? It seems that he has many choices, but in reality, he has no choice. After all this, it should not be possible for him to end up in the arms of society like Mark in "Trainspotting", but he can't always hide in the magical bus and become a savage who occasionally wanders among the crowd. Right? Or go home and hug your parents? Forgive everything that was before, the sun shines on the earth. But who can guarantee that this is temporary or permanent? Everything will change, but human nature remains the same. Intoxicated with beauty, you will accidentally return to the original. Such repetition is very possible. So supertripper had to die, luckily he died in the wilderness, as glorious as Che Guevara died on the battlefield.
There are many people who want to defect, but very few of them start. Can you say that he is very brave? It can only be said that he is determined, and the power of determination comes from being hurt, and after being injured, he is determined to want to be strong. The point is that people do it, and that's what makes him great. He did it, and are we to thank him for playing us to defect a bit, so that we can be relieved and relieved, or are we to be wary of him tempting us to do this anti-social movement? The chatter at first is disgusting and suspicious, is he really a supertrippe as he claims to be? As he grew, his words became less and less, not autistic, but a kind of calm. Instead of stubbornly sticking to your own point of view, you start to accept the information conveyed by others. Defection is no longer just an emotional catharsis, it becomes a state of life under the fulfillment of time, perhaps the state he said is closer to nature, and becomes a belief under the fulfillment of time.
There are a lot of Christophers dormant around us, they will burst out at any time, and they will go down the road of the wilderness. It's just that when there are more and more choices, the defection itself will become the object of the second defection. Besides, what else can we do? How to save your own emptiness.
The question of self-redemption and his redemption
Che Guevara chose to fight for the freedom of people in other countries, as if to redeem others, but found a strong sense of existence in this real revolution, Christopher seems to have been running away, finding himself in the wilderness The method of redemption, contact with others, has an impact on others, and after death, like Che Guevara, it becomes a symbol, and a belief affects more people. Che Guevara is an idealist, and who is not an idealist, who doesn't want to live a life full of passion and sincerity, but why are they all like Mark, no matter how rebellious they were before, they finally compromised with reality?
Is escaping into the wilderness the only way we have left?
Can we only use physical distance to soothe the sense of alienation in reality?
Christopher is like a willful child who has lost himself in the pursuit of freedom.
At the last minute, Christopher reconciled with his parents, and he ran to them with a smile, to a life full of sunshine. It's a pity that all this beauty only exists in Christopher's imagination. The flower of idealism can only bloom under the protection of fantasy. Defection is despair for the existing and hope for the unknown. Resolve is a momentary turbulent emotion that pushes us forward and seeks out new hope from that despair. It is the meaning of everything.
Conflict of idealists Idealists are in conflict
with the world around them, with others, and even with themselves, and the irreconcilability of this conflict will be a disaster, lost in the prejudice of self-perception of the world around them, unable to extricate themselves .
At this time, an escape is necessary. It consumes our energy in the escape. We are all children of nature. It is not a shameful thing to return to the arms of our mothers.
Compromise is not necessarily weakness, but a kind of love, a kind of tenderness. We have long understood many truths, but it took us a long time to truly understand them, and we took a lot of detours.
No one is born to understand everything, admit their naivety, their immaturity, the world will forgive us all the waywardness we once had. We are fortunate to always have the opportunity to start over.
