Into the Wild- Alone

I've watched the movie twice and both times I never understood why don’t get me wrong I understand why he wanted to go away and be away from society but seriously, was it worth dying for. Dying alone with the realization that true happiness comes when you're with people. Being alone sucks, there are times when of course alone time is great, but a prolonged amount of a long time isn't healthy. I'm too scared to be alone, I've only ever gone out and eaten by myself once and that was recently. I sat down alone and ate and i didn't like it, I didn't like being that person that is by themselves. So, in trying to put myself in Chris's shoe I absolutely cannot. I have no desire to get away from society and my family. While I might not always agree with both of those I don’t think I need to run away from them, or make a big scene just to prove something. Some people might be upset by what I have to say but I think Chris was just a spoil kid that wanted to rebel against his parents and he rebelled by running away and saying that, he did it because of society.  All he really wanted was for his parents to pay attention to him.
