Henry David Thoreau and Chris McCandless maintained almost the same degree of freedom in previous societies.

He explained that although he "lived" in the former society, he did not experience the benefits of psychological freedom. In addition, Thoreau said, "Do not believe that every day is older than others, more sacred, and more aurora, including those seeking ways to crave life and become dark and dark" ) Like Henry David Thoreau, Chris McCandless is also pursuing psychological freedom.
