In the selection Chris is talking about how so many people give up there adventerous side in order to "fit" into society hoping that this will give them peace and joy. When in reality it's taking away there freedom to be able to explore life in completely different ways each day. Alex supertramp is talking about how people do not realize how conforming to society's demands affect them in negative ways rather than help them. I agree with Chris partially because Trying to fit in with everyone In society Will not bring you happiness or joy. I agree that it is indeed the adventure of life and not knowing what's coming tomorrow that brings people joy, happiness and Peace of mind. But sometimes you have to go with the flow and try to be somewhat civil And conservative to get to certain things in life.
Chris embraced and exemplified his beliefs by Being free and outgoing and not conforming to what society see's as right and wrong. He did this by being himself and speaking his mind. He also did not lose his sense of adventure, fun, and freedom. Alex took life day by day with a new start and different attitude everyday. Chris was carefree and it showed because he did what he wanted, went where he wanted, and this made him feel happy, free, and joyful.
My life has been conditioned to conformity and conservatism because I can't say or do whatever I want whenever I want without worrying about who's watching and judging me. I'm unable to do a lot of the things that make me who I am because of the consequences or having to think about what people think of me. Chris would most likely ask me do I enjoy living like this and is this my definition of being free and happy. He would ask me to name three things that I've done recently that I've absolutely enjoyed without worrying. Chris would probably tell me to do something exotic and fun without looking back and questioning myself. He would tell me to be 100% me for once.
