Eddie Vedder - Society - Into the Wild Soundtrack
If you haven't seen this amazing film by Sean Penn, starring a wonderful Emile Hirsch, you must. I cannot stress how much this movie reflected how I have felt so many times about this world, this life, this society, that has so depressed so many, while helping, at the same time, us to survive. I know that I cannot live without others, and that we need each other, but the institutions, the greed, the hypocrisy has infected me. And sometimes, like when I watch movies like this, I wonder if I will ever get well.

Simply well said, Daddydan. It was an amazing film. Hirsch was amazing and I thought Hal Holbrooke's character was astonishing. Pitch perfect in every scene.
And I agree, often I want to leave - get out stop being infected by this world, but there is an optimism that only hopes it will get better...though that optimisim wanes by the minute.
thanks for posting this... beautiful & reflective...
