La gallardía de no mirar atrás

Que tire la primera piedra el ser humano que no ha escarbado en la buenaventura de su pasado buscando refugio del presente parco que le este tocando vivir. 

La famosa crónica de una muerte anunciada es un fantasma que nos atormenta a todos sin excepción. Conocemos las nefastas consecuencias que puede tener cada uno de nuestros actos, somos conscientes de aquello,  pero cuando ellas aparecen, no sabemos como reaccionar, nos convierten en  niños indefensos y torpes llenos de arrepentimiento, pensamos tal vez, de que nos sirvió ser tan valientes y determinantes cuando tomamos esa particular decisión de decir, ya no mas... ya ya no más de eso, o él o ella, ya que después terminamos destrozados. 

Este hecho marca nuestras vidas al punto de preguntamos: ¿Por qué no fui menos orgulloso(a)? Debí haber titubeado un poco más antes de tomar esa decisión, debo ser menos idealista, ¿debo escuchar más los consejos del resto? En fin, se nos presentan miles de cuestionamientos que abren inquietudes en otras áreas de nuestra vida, los cuales finalmente nos conducen a un acabo de mundo interior, nos queda la caga!! 

"NO mires hacia atrás", dicen muchos; "¡deja que el presente se haga ancho y no tenga con nada que chocar!". ¿Esa es la clave? Es tan malo mirar al pasado para mejorar tu presente? ¿Es una actitud bizarra construir tu camino con los pedazos del ayer? ¿Y si debemos recoger algo que quedo atrás para seguir avanzando?

Into the wild`s essay

How wrong we have been!

“Independent and self sufficient”…One of the transcendental goals in the life of human being, Chris McCandless was one of those people who realized this, with a devastating ending, yes, there is no room to doubt, successful or big failure?  who knows, that subjective questions could be hard to answer. But who was really Chris McCandless?  An irresponsible person because he underestimated the wild, in the fact that he did not research into methods of survival hard enough, a spoiled brat, a selfish college young, a flawed genius, He had no compassion for his parents who did love him. He was a confused young man who had an urge to find himself.

 All these statements could be right but first at all, McCandless was a human being, born to makes mistakes, with fears, insecurities, faults, especially he always felt the society`s pressure, he wanted to run away, breaking society`s rules, He was doing what he wanted, not what other people wanted him to do. He was brave in terms to keep his stance, no matter what people think, or say, people what Alex used to meet during his voyage, they never understood him, he could be love, hate or ignored by them, but he never could be understood entirely. Including society.  “I knew of the rules but the rules did not know me”, Guaranteed from Into the wild movie soundtrack.

I totally agree with what Alex has to say and he stands for. Maybe the right path to the happiness is lose the inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life move around,  making  each day a new horizon, as Alex wrote to Ronald.

 “happiness only real when shared” words written by Chris , quote is basically saying that true happiness is only achieved when shared with others, words, in completely contradiction what McCandless had thought or lived, however, if he would not live what he lived, he never knew the meaning of real joy. Finally all worth it.

Humbly, Charlotte.
