Some of the most beautiful moments i've ever had in my life have happened when i'm completely within the realm of solitude. Many amazing things in life that happen to me I don't tell others, simply because I would end the story with, "I guess you'd just have to be there." But some of the really amazing things that occur that can actually be explained and appreciated I DO tell. Simply because I want to share the joy, and can't help myself from telling somebody... anybody really. It's like the movie "Into the Wild" when the main character finally realizes that real happiness is only worth something when shared.
We would all like to forsake our identity, name, and all the numbers that come attached... and just run full speed into the Wild. Into the great outdoors where you are your own master, where you live off of the earth, experience the life that surrounds constantly. But the sad reality is that we cannot forsake everything as we'd wish. The sly hint of rational dictates to us that we want to be around other humans. We want to share things. We can have our bits of down time to be by ourselves... but reality tells us that humanity is King. We really want it. We need it.
