"A trancelike state settles over efforts; the climb becomes a clear-eyed dream. Hours slide by like minutes. The accumulated clutter of day-to-day existence- the lapses of conscience, the unpaid bills, the bungled opportunities, the dust under the couch, the inescapable prison of your genes- all of it is temporarily forgotten, crowded from your thoughts by an overpowering clarity of purpose and by seriousness of the task at hand"(Krakauer 142-143).
Topic: Inspiration or Fool
Even though Chris McCandless did not say this directly, I believe he would agree with how Krakauer stated this. This quote is relatable, or at least to my belief, to everyone. Everyone has had at least one moment where they have realized their purpose or the purpose of living. Honestly this feeling for me comes and goes. But whenever I hear or read something like this it really gets me thinking. I found this quote to very inspirational to myself. And I would like to think that others would agree. The message that when you realize are you little worries don't need to be worried about in the first place is one of the best feelings a person could have. It takes away so much paranoia and so many worries we don't need and that's what it has done for me.
