Into the Wild

One of my favorite movies "Into the Wild" is an incredible story of a man stretching his limits with nature and really appreciate how beautiful the earth is.  Iv probably seen this movie 10 times and every time I watch it I have more of a need to literally get into the wild.  There is something therapeutic about appreciating the beauty of our natural surroundings.  Most of the world today is wrapped in a suit and worried about wealth and what comes with it.  The older I get the more appreciating I have for nature and respect I have to not destroy it.  Im not a complete hippy, but I feel that our world has lost its connection to nature and made it a means to our end.  We use the earth for ourselves and fail to protect it.  In my eyes there is no difference between a man that hunts day and night for his family and grows crops in his back yard, from a man that is an entrepreneur for a fortune 500 hunting company.  The reason I say this is because everyone is dealt a difference hand in life, but persistence and work ethic is what matters.  When people spend time in nature and respect it, rather than take it for granted, it can help you appreciate life and give people happiness.
