Inspirational, or Foolish?

"HAPPINESS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED"(Krakauer 189).

McCandless had been reading the book, Doctor Zhivago, and had underlined several passages, scribble many exited notes, and make bold printed statements, such as the one atop this blog. What he says is both foolish and inspirational, but to me, I see it as inspirational, as I am the same way, give or take. I can be happy by myself, but not forever. I enjoy being with friends and sharing my happiness and enjoyment, but everyone needs a breather here and there, and needs to have some fun by themselves. I believe McCandless had been the person who just wasn't enjoying himself in life, due to his parents, and his dislike for a typical lifestyle. His breathers were going on those long trips, or daunting hikes, either by himself or with others. During the summers he would go on prolonged road trips by himself. When he finished college, however, he left for the longest, and sadly last, prolonged "breather" of his life. Sharing happiness is usually what brings people together. McCandless seemed to need to figure that out himself. He read a great many deep and inspirational books, which, although can be called sketchy by some, were how he became who he was. Through the books he took with him on this journey, he learned, or realized, maybe he shouldn't be so distanced from people, as said, happiness is only real when shared. Towards the end of his days in the wilderness, he seemed ready to forgive his parents, and go back to a normal lifestyle.
