Into the Wild

When I was reading this passage I could easily imagine all the beauty of the wild American West. And I also believe that I’ve got the author’s point. In his opinion, youth is exactly the right time for a person to get some adventure experience, which includes escaping “routine” city life. He suggests that one should go into the wild in order to enjoy the marvelous sceneries that God has placed around to discover, and to do things which one may previously never have thought of doing.
It has been mentioned that a lot of people live unhappy lives. The reason for that is that they are too accustomed to security, conformity and conservatism. This all seems to be very damaging to the adventurous spirit of a person, which the author believes to be vital for human. But this is what I disagree with.
In my opinion you don’t have to avoid the community to experience life. It’s ok if you are attracted with a bit of adventure but is it worth of giving up your family or your friends or your love or even your favourite job? I believe that things like hiking (in company, which seems more attractive to me than roaming around the mountains alone) or traveling are able to satisfy your need of some adventurous activity. The youth is a period when you lay the foundation of your future life and it appears to me to be a waste to spend this precious time being nomadic.
So to sum up, I would like to say that the author seems to have been deprived of all those things I wrote above of and he decided to find out what else life can provide him with after his escaping into the wild.
