The Joy Of Life

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

1) Explain what Chris means in this selection in your own words. Was he right or wrong?
 

I think Chris means that people live there life with so much depression. As the saying goes "Live life to the fullest," Chris means the opposite that people do not consider the happiness and joy of life but of the pain or hurt of life. He is correct to me. There are so many people that sre not happy with life and the way they live there life.

2) In what ways did Chris embrace and then exemplify these beliefs?

He embrace these belief by actually living in nature. I feel as though he wanted to get a clear outter look on life without material things and go on a adventure that would take him  on a life long journey. He wanted to feel responsible and independant on his own and to me  go on with the challenges that life brings on his own.

3) How has your life been conditioned to a life of security, conformity and conservatism? If you could meet Chris, what do you think he would specifically question about your life? What do you think he would encourage you to do?

I believe that my life has been condition to live in security, conformity and conservatism. I think Chris would ask me what type of life I live? Do I live being a materialistic person? If I would come out of my realistic life and take on a adventure? I think he would ask questions to see if we have anything in common with him. I think he would encourage me to live my life and go through changes even if it don't seem like I could make a living in that environment. Also, encourage  me to enjoy nature and all it has to bring to life.

Poems Related To Alex Supertramp Life

As stated in the poem to the left:

       The Stream of Life

"Life... the essence of living

To breathe, to nourish, to create,

To exist on a common plan

And known  no difference.

What if the world was this simple?

Thet the greatest life achievement.

The richest reward one could give

Was to reap and bestow love.

The water falls from the skies,

Nourishes the land, the living growth,

We shelter from its harshness,

And sweeten our lips with delight.

We taste of love in the same manner

Why do we not dance to the tune so simple

And seek for nothing else?"

This is one of the poems I think Alex Supertramp would like. I think this poem means that why be bother with the hard times in life when life comes so easy. Also, how many things in the world are to bring people down.

 

One of the reasons I believe he would like it is because it deals with nature. Alex loved the nature. He survives in the wildness. In this poem it shows how the author thinks that life is simple without material things. Alex also believe that  there is no need of material things while living in nature's wilderness.

Personal Experience

August 10,2012- AIRPORT

I am so excited! Man i can't WAIT. My first trip out of the U.S. I had my bags pack 2 days ago. My mom still can't believe I'm really doing this going to a safari. Wildlife here comes your bride. "Mom, I be back," I explain to her, "It's not like I'm going to die." " your my first daughter an the craziest person on earth to want to see real life animals." I could hardly think about how  much my mom was worried. Only thing i could think of is that i had to get on the plane in 10 mintues."Dad, pklease keep mom's mine off of me while I'm gone. I'm going to call you when i reach Africa and then 2 days after each call i make. HAHA you always tought me to save my money.""I will try. I hope you find that crazy side of your mind over there and then want to come back to reality.""I love you guys come here hugs and kisses.

ON THE PLANE

Man it smell like feet. I should of never been cheap this not even continential it's something i got out of the book "Dummies Cheap Flights." I needed some first class service. I couldn't understand why people bring baby's on a plane all they want to do is sleep, eat, and cry when they dont get there way. So you know there was a baby on the plane cause you could smell the diaper when you first took your step on the royal blue flooring. 15 hours later. I'm getting off the plane waiting for the guy that holds a sign saying BRIANNA JONES to take me to my desination. But I get off the plane to realize they spell my name wrong."Omg, that is not how you spell my name sir.'' "Sorry." Now many of people say I was rachet but I wasnt because if it  was your name it would be the same way.

SAFARI

 

Im rubbertramping  now like Alex McCandless would say in the book "Into the Wild." His book is my survival guide. Man, Im about the luckiest person on earth. "My namen is Kevin and I would be your tour guide of Kenya Safari." He seems happy. He was young about in his mid-20's a college student I would say. He was Black with nice eyes hazel to be exact. He was tall. But the most ugly part of him was his sike it had so many marks and brusies. Later on, My feet were about to die. I might not make it to see my mom." Theses are loins," he told me. My eyes jump look at Kevin and wanted to say take me home Im not about this life. I wanted to run but Kevion had whisper if you run your a died female. I told him he needed to feed his animals. So when I finally got back to my camp out. I went  to sleep and wish that when I woke up Im home back to reality.

PACKING TO GO BACK HOME

                                                                              I guess I've acheive my goal. Lost my fear of animals that seem to be "oh D!" large in my case. I learn to also apprecite the fact of my living conditioning. I saw so many people there that were hungry and trying to provide for there family's. I learn storys about girls in Africa that get rape. An there is  no lae enforement over here. Before I catch my flight to go back to home I'm donating the rest of my money to charity. The animals were kind but not caring. You could tell that the moneys were ahppy in there habitat jumping form tree to tree. I felt asthough I sghould have join them and it would of been like Tarzan again just with a different name Tarzana. Well, today would be the last day for me writing in this journal.

Bye AFRICA
