Free Topic #4: Adin Katz



With my final free response journal I want to talk about how it would seem that people are too obsessed with their day to day lives to take some time out to venture into the wilderness or at least nature of some kind.  So often today we as a culture ignore or are simply ignorant of the world around us outside.  My observation is that we have become so obsessed with the goal or destination that we forget about the journey.  This rinse and repeat style of living discourages and even prevents straying from the mold.   Without the journeys in life though many people would simply argue that the destination isn’t worth it and this is true when wilderness is concerned. Exploration both introspectively and of the world around is a key part of learning and one of the best places to do this in in the wilderness.  As a people we have to turn the computer off, put down the remote, and get outside for a bit every day and not simply for exercise but for self discovery as well.
