ABSOLUTE FREEDOM COMPLETE FREEDOM

leading me westward
"ABSOLUTE FREEDOM", COMPLETE FREEDOM, the kind of freedom we started to imagine when we were kids, unchecked, snatch , possession, abandonment, and destruction are all at one's own will. And then, it wasn't the parents who had absorbed the seductive education that first came out to dash that dream, but a goddamn dude named Marx (at least to me) who made a biblical apocalyptic assertion: Absolute freedom doesn't exist . It's crueler than it's never coming. There are still people who describe the blueprint of utopia, although it will never be realized, but no one can describe absolute freedom, complete freedom, and condoning it is the ultimate yearning of people. How many pairs of wings should it have, how thick of feathers should it be, and how should it fly?
All people can show is the life course of constantly chasing freedom and then getting lost in different ways, and CHRIS is one of them. He gave up his impressive college graduation grades, proud prospects and all the superior life he was accustomed to, as well as the hypocrisy and shackles behind these lives, and began to live in the wilderness, all the way west, in pursuit of the place of freedom in his heart, only mountains, rivers, There are wild animals in the sky, IN THE WILD. However, in the end, for some reason, for some reason, sadness, sarcasm, intimidation, or whatever, he was killed by a wild plant he accidentally ingested in the icy landscape of Alaska.
Such a crazy life gives us adoration with fear, and perhaps sympathy. It is human nature to yearn for freedom, no, it should be the nature of all living things. However, when it comes to freedom, human beings, who live in the steel forest, seem to be inferior to a wildly growing shrub in the virgin forest. So, blending into the wild and returning to the original becomes a way to pursue complete freedom. It seems more sublime and far from reality than indulgence of self-indulgent depravity or even harm to others, and is usually adopted by good philosophers. CHRIS was not as lucky as Thoreau - came back safely, and wrote down classics for future generations to imitate. He is a tragedy that encourages us to start new experiences while warning of death.
We don't need to embark on such a radical and artistic grand escape like he did. Keeping a certain distance and watching an extreme story can stimulate a series of related thinking. Extremes are not necessarily a good thing, and an extreme pursuit of one thing may also be an extreme escape from another. Fever obsessed with something is childish. The society's requirement for maturity is to be well-rounded and to be at ease, not whether you have done what you want to do or whether you have really gained the freedom of your mind. I always thought so, I need to mature, I need to learn to be humble, learn to give up, learn to balance. Only now do I feel that life lacks naivety, and I am accustomed to thinking before and after, experiencing a little bit of the sense of security brought by the mean, and escaping while catering to it. Hiding behind the wind and waves for a long time, dull thinking, become lazy, lose spirit and bearing, no ambition. "ALEX" shouted to RON under the mountain: the core of man's spirit comes from new experiences. The core of man's soul comes from new experiences, and reliance on security brings cowardice and complacence.
Adaptation to the new environment, self-conquest, every small success creates small happiness, remember what the young super traveler said to the old man:
BUT YOU'RE WRONG IF YOU THINK THAT THE JOY OF LIFE COMES PRINCIPALLY FROM HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS,
but if you think that a happy life mainly comes from human relationships, then you are wrong
GOD'S PLACED IT ALL AROUND US. God
put joy in everything around us All THINGS people have to do is to change their view of things. It reminds me of a poem from Bei Dao: true pain without tears , true happiness without smile , the first half of the sentence was already understood at the time, and the second half of the sentence began to touch gradually over the years. It can be seen that, in fact, it is much more difficult for people to truly understand happiness than pain. True happiness is a state of harmony of the mind that, because it is always so peaceful and undisturbed, it feels so imperceptible and so right. People are keen to bet that a spinning coin will land heads, but they always remember and complain about tails. The relationship between people always brings more entanglements than understanding. This is indeed a very annoying thing that has to be faced, but if you change your opinion, maybe this will be very challenging and interesting. thing. Of course, in addition to the above, he can't agree with his values for being at a similar age as CHRIS. The so-called search for freedom is just a complete escape, as well as punishment for relatives, or should be called catharsis and revenge. From this point on, CHRIS has always been a child. Did he use his real name at the last moment to mean a face, a call in tranquility, did he finally express the prayer for love in his hard and rebellious shell?
