Into the wild

In the book Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer The a young man by the name Chris McCandless decides he's not happy being given everything he wants, and because he is being given everything he wants he feels complacent and thus he becomes unhappy with his life. This realization to his dissatisfaction makes him turn his back on all he knows and walk away from it all traveling from Washing to D.C. to the Mexican Border meeting loads of new people along the way; all this just to feel alive and happy. In our groups a question came up asking " could you do the exact same thing McCandless did and walk away from it all?" I thought for a second and the only thing i could think was "only if I was truly unhappy." I think we as people all have the capacity to make a great change to make us happy to make us feel in a sense  "alive".
