Christopher McCandless was a Taoist ?

Postby mathis94 » Sun Jun 10, 2012 11:00 am

I'am Taoist and realized that Christopher might believe in Taoism without (maybe) even knowing it.

What Taoism (and especially the Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi) tell us :

-Be close to nature, live according to the nature, we all belong to the nature
-Poverty is freedom
-To have nothing, it is having everything
-There is no bad or good, there is just life and changes

The only things is that Christopher seems to always have searched a truth whereas a Taoist don't search anything knowing there is no 'no truth but unlimited truths'

What do you think about it?
