"Happiness is only real when shared" (Krakauer)

Inspiration or fool

        To me when I hear this quote people instantly think that happiness can be acquired without sharing it. To me that is just feeling good for yourself and that type of "happiness" is not true happiness. To me when I share my happiness with someone it lasts longer and makes you a better person. For example when you do something as simple as buying a homeless person some food, seeing their smile really gets to you and makes you feel something you can never experience by yourself and that is true happiness.

"I HAVE HAD A HAPPY LIFE AND THANK THE LORD. GOODBYE AND MAY GOD BLESS ALL" (Krakauer 199). 

Inspiration or Fool

        For some people this is a foolish statement because they may be thinking why would he thanking the Lord when he let him die. To me this inspiration because even though Alex knew that God was trying to give him a way out by trying to get him back home, he instead when his own path to do something nobody thought he could do which be independent and live outside reality and strive toward a goal. Even though he knew that God was trying to help him and even though he knew he was not going to survive his whole life in the wild he wanted to try. When he reached his one hundred goal on his last few breaths he still thanks God for giving him multiple ways out.

"I thought he was too nice a kid to be living by that hot spring with those nudists and drunks and dope smokers"(Krakauer 51)

The Dynamic of family.

        In the real world people see other people as how they look book covers. They are always so quick to judge people without even knowing them. Such as Frances coming up with this accusations that because he was nice he all of the sudden must live in a fancy house and a great family. Instead after realizing where he lived be understanding that he lives there, he may not like it there but when you sound depressed that he does not have the most perfect live embrace. One example with me is nearly everyone that saw me in school and everywhere else frankly. They all thought that I am angry and depressed but in reality I looked mad because of my facial features. I truly wish that people would stop judging as their first instinct and instead ask.
