In my opinion, nature has much more meaning and balance than any human construct.
Into the Wild illustrates that brilliantly when it starkly juxtaposes natural scenes with urban living in a few of the sequences.

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness. And then, on top of all that, you for a mate, and children, perhaps-what more can the heart of a man desire?
