"Into the Wild. Search for the truth of one's existence. Renounce all authority, institutions, dependency and be truly free within oneself. To be completely independent from socially constructed forces and solely dependent on one's faculties and ride the destined path. To breathe in every new experience, and look upon nature, god's creation with fresh eyes every morning and feel the bliss streaming in your veins. Supertramp had courage. He had courage to look at life as it is and he lived. He sought happiness and he found it in his journeys with the friends he made, the lives he touched. He led a meaningful life and though he died at the age of 24, he had the wisdom and courage of one who lived a lifetime. Supertramp was a non- conformist, a nature lover, a bookworm, a writer, a poet, a seeker of truth. A college graduate who made a conscious decision to leave the filth of modern society and return to nature. Go North. Go back to the basics. He lived in the wild to seek out the truth, his truth and he found it, despite whatever criticisms others may say. He is the epitomy of one's contempt against modern society; the iron cage. The cage that restrains our freedom, our expression. We have become dependent on the things we dont need. This false consciousness which modern society brilliantly controls and feeds us with. To be truly free of things and be at one with only what you need. To use your faculties to its fullest potential and stand at the apex of your own potential and be filled with clarity and with bliss surrounding you."
