Adventure, Inspiration or Fool?


"The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure."(Krakaur 57)


This quote was in a letter to Ron from Alex, giving advice and just talking about he's doing. I believe that this quote is very inspirational because it speaks to the point that you cannot just lie around and live a typical life, adventure is where you really become who you are. Explaining that if everything is at your fingertips you never learns, as his spontaneous trip into the wild. Also it goes into how when you go “into the wild” you are challenged to look deep into yourself and find your true “spirit”. I believe that Krakaur isn’t only talking about the wilderness I believe that he is speaking to everyone in the sense, that everyone has their wilderness whether that be taking a new risk or talking to someone new, breaking society’s social norms to find yourself.  Also to truly be happy and not work about what is going to happen just living in the moment.
