Into the Wild

-I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong... but to feel strong.

-Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.

-Christopher McCandless: I'm supertramp.
[looks at apple]
Christopher McCandless: and you're super apple!

-If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.

-The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences.

-Ron Franz: I'm going to miss you when you go.
Christopher McCandless: I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships. God's place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things.
Ron Franz: Yeah. I am going to take stock of that. You know I am. I want to tell you something. From bits and pieces of what you have told me about your family, your mother and your dad... And I know you have problems with the church too... But there is some kind of bigger thing that we can all appreciate and it sounds to me you don't mind calling it God. But when you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines through you.

-Christopher McCandless: [written into book] Happiness only real when shared.

-Christopher McCandless: Society, man! You know, society! Cause, you know what I don't understand? I don't understand why people, why every fucking person is so bad to each other so fucking often. It doesn't make sense to me. Judgment. Control. All that, the whole spectrum. Well, it just...
Wayne Westerberg: What "people" we talking about?
Christopher McCandless: You know, parents, hypocrites, politicians, pricks.

-Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. - Alexander Supertramp May 1992

Wayne Westerberg: Outdoorsman. What's your fascination with all that stuff?
Christopher McCandless: I'm going to Alaska.
Wayne Westerberg: Alaska, Alaska? Or city Alaska? Because they do have markets in Alaska. The city of Alaska. Not in Alaska. In the city of Alaska, they have markets.
Christopher McCandless: No, man. Alaska, Alaska. I'm gonna be all the way out there, all the way fucking out there. Just on my own. You know, no fucking watch, no map, no axe, no nothing. No nothing. Just be out there. Just be out there in it. You know, big mountains, rivers, sky, game. Just be out there in it, you know? In the wild.
Wayne Westerberg: In the wild.
Christopher McCandless: Just wild!
Wayne Westerberg: Yeah. What are you doing when we're there? Now you're in the wild, what are we doing?
Christopher McCandless: You're just living, man. You're just there, in that moment, in that special place and time. Maybe when I get back, I can write a book about my travels.
Wayne Westerberg: Yeah. Why not?

-The freedom and simple beauty is too good to pass up...

Ja veel The Five People You Meet in Heaven
-People stop sacrificing for one another, they lose what keeps them human.

-Ruby: Holding anger is a poison...It eats you from inside...We think that by hating someone we hurt them...But hatred is a curved blade...and the harm we do to others...we also do to ourselves...

-Blue Man: There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind...

-Blue Man: Fairness does not govern life and death...If it did, no good man would ever die young... In heaven, there is no judgment, but rather an opportunity to examine our lives-who we touched, the choices we made, and the consequences of those choices.

-Blue Man: Strangers are family you have yet to come to know.

Miks inimesed ei näe ?
Suuremat pilti, kaugemale karjäärist, edust, vajadusest olla ühiskonna poolt aksepteeritud?

Olemuslik õnn.....isikuvabadus.....need hetked, mis loevad, aga keegi, kellega oleks seda jagada. Sest õnn on kõige suurem tunne ja kõige ehtsam just siis, kui on keegi, kellega seda jagada.

Ükskõik kes siis....inimene, kes juhtub samasse ajahetke sinuga, mõni sõber, teretuttav, koer.....kes iganes. Ja kui sul veab ja oled kogemata sattunud nende priviligeeritute hulka, kellel on silmi näha, oled sa eriti õnnelik. Sest siis juhtub see, et saad oma õnne jagada inimesega, kes on sinu elu inimene.

Olen aru saanud, et elus ei saa asju sundida. Neid muuta või olematuks teha. Elu kulgeb. Kõik juhtub. Ega seal vist mingit suurt tõde ei ole - tuleb õppida hindama lihtsuses peituvat siirast ilu, vahetut silmavaadet, kergust, mis tuleb kui sügavalt,kopsupõhjani, hingata. Kulgeda. Minna kaasa ja lasta headel asjadel endani jõuda. Sest ainult nii saavad need sinuni jõuda. Nii tundub mulle. Lõppkokkuvõttes läheb ju kõik ainult ühte pidi. Ja kõik, mis sa saad teha sellel ärkvel oleku ajal, on nautida seda. Aru saada ja näha suuremat pilti. Väärtustada neid naeratusi, embusi ja vahetuid emotsioone mida kannavad sinusse need vähesed, kes elavad nii tugevalt sinu sees, et voolav veri ei oleks soontes sama, kui seal poleks killukest igast sellest eraldiseisvast olendist. Nemad kõik. Kes tulevad, lähevad, on ja jäävad.

Nõnda tihti kuidagi kaon jälle ära samasse tõdemusse. Tõsi, ka kirjutan juba mitu korda sellest. Aga alati tekib kummaline tung ja sisemine soov ja sisse tuleb midagi sellist, mida ei saa kontrollida. Et justkui ta lihtsalt tahab kõik jälle must-valget kirjakribu maha jätmist. Ja nii ta siis lähebki. Must-valgele.Korduvalt.Aga mingu. Äkki on tal mingi point.

Ja ikka me elame seda sama elu. Ärkame, teeme kohvi, peseme hambad, lähme tööle, tuleme töölt koju, sööme, lähme magama. Me muretseme selle üle, kas teeme piisavalt head tööd, oleme piisavalt andekad, piisavalt võrdväärsed ja maksujõulised.

Miks?

Oleme õnnetud päevast päeva.
Ja need, kes tänaval sooja näoga ringi käivad, võibolla naeratavad, neid saadab “kurjade päris inimeste “ pilk, sest see õnnelik on “pool-uhhuu” . Ega siis See ei saa aru, kuidas elu käib. Elab oma pilvemullis ja ei adu.
Kahju nendest, kes nõnda arvavad.
Päris ausalt.
Nendel on ju tegelikult pseudoprobleemidest tingitud taak kanda.

Armastan seda tarka meest, kes kunagi ütles, et lihtsuses peitub võlu.
Ma arvan, et see mees suri õnnelikuna.
Vabana.

Aga ikka surub ühiskond peale seda ängi, milles elame. Ka neile, kes näevad suuremat pilti.
