What gets you is the implication that someone has charged something to your paypal account - something that is all too possible, alas.

Movie: Into the Wild

No comments:
Into the Wild: A story about extreme pain, extreme action, hard-won wisdom, and one tiny, fatal mistake. It's a warning to parents about the pain they may cause their children; it's a catharsis to children who suffer but don't know why. One must see through the railing against society to see the inner core; yes, society is sick (aptly shown with the "waiting list to paddle down the river" thing), but that wasn't at the heart of Chris's pain. He needed to learn for himself about Truth, and first he had to throw everything away. And when he found Truth, he died.

Ain't life grand?
