Random muse

Just watched the movie "Into the Wild" about Chris Mclandless. An American student, who gave everything to charity and led a life of a vagabond, retired to the Alaskan wild to live in solitude and died of starvation 5 month into his quest.

Do human relationships and togetherness really matter for leading a meaningul life? What was going on in his mind in the last stages of his life? Did he regret doing what he did? How did it feel being so lonely, knowing there were so many people who love you, yet dying alone unsure if they will ever find out what happened to you? Was he at peace with himself at the end?

In some ways, I understand his quest for just trying to know what his life is for. Alexander Supertramp.
