Breakaway

I first got introduced to this book in my doctor's office, I had read just only the introduction of this book called Into the Wild.Then I wanted to read this book very badly but I was unable to get hold of a copy so decided to settle in seeing the movie of this book called INTO THE WILD. I sometimes see the not so typical movies.This movie caught my attention quite a bit and I don regret for seeing this movie.I was pleased.This is a real life story of a guy who graduates from reputed University and has a well settled life and all of a sudden disappears and he completely destroys his identity.After a couple of years they find his dead ruins in some part of Alaska and journey of that guy to Alaska is made into a movie.I was just wondering, how could some one break away just like that from this materialistic world.Maybe some people are matured enough to see things beyond the materialistic pleasures and when they do they breakaway with characterstic immoderation, break away from the world of abstraction,false security and expenses and as Thoreau correctly said "Rather than love,than money,than faith,than fame, than fairness, give me TRUTH"

Basically,the person decides to go on a walk trail around United States ,he has bad childhood, where his parents married based on a lie,bad parenting,and he ultimately decides to free himself from this monotonous routine of life.By seeing that movie, I felt it is not necessary to be strong but it is very important to feel strong in each and every walk of your life so that one day when everything goes for a downfall, you can measure yourself with your own head and hands.This movie made a quite a bit of impact in me and how parenting plays a vital role in one's life.The guy was brillaint kid and if he had been handled carefully he would have shined very well in his life (maybe thats they say the fragility of a crystal is not its weakness,rather its the strength)and how we are all blessed to have a good part of that.Indeed worth watching it!!!!:-))
