People say he's an idiot. But I don't think he was trying to prove something to anyone. He was just trying to escape this cold capitalist jungle and find adventure, fun, genuine friendship, in anyway he possibly could.

Most people are born, raised, wage slave, reproduce, and then they die, and then the cycle continues with their offspring.

He just wanted something different for himself. To get a taste of life, adventure, danger, and freedom, that most men now in days will never see.
