an endlessly changing horizon

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." - Chris McCandless

I don't know who this guy is or where this quote came from, but I happened upon it today and decided I like it. Let it be an encouragement to us who resist change, yet find an abundance of it in our lives.

edit on 4/7/2006: i just found the story linked through Chris McCandless's name above. I haven't finished reading the whole things, but it's pretty interesting so far.
