Into the Wild

I just finished watching Into the Wild. It was a pretty good movie with some tremendously thought provoking moments. It is a movie about a guy who runs away to a remote location in Alaska, with the hope of leaving his possessions and family struggles, and finding happiness. One of the most profound moments is when he is nearing death, simply writes in one of his beloved books: "happiness is only real when it is shared." It just makes me come back to the thought that we are meant to spend life together and enjoy the reality of Christ through one another. Being lonely is a painful way to live a life, and I think that this quote powerfully captures this truth.
