INTO THE WILD - Jon Krakauer

Pg.57 the letter he wrote to his friend..

"so many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet wiill not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of whichs many appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future"....

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure.. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences... and hense there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new diffferent sun."

"You do not need anyone else around you to bring this new kind of light in your life. It is simply wanting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it. The only person you are fighting is yourself and your stubbornness to engage in new circumstances..."

Ask ourselves... is it true or not...
