No matter how many adventures Chris McCandless went on, he was never truly satisfied. He was so focused on getting out, being free, and leaving life behind, that it cost him his happiness. Freedom can be blinding because it gives you this idea that everything will be great once you can do anything or have anything you want, but if you're not happy, none of that stuff even matters. You can search and search but you'll always feel like something is missing. Happiness is the true freedom, but freedom does not mean happiness.

People are always seeking freedom. Some people can be happy without freedom, but most often they come to realize that the way they are living is suffocating and that they need to leave. Simply looking at a child will prove this. Babies are dependent on their parents, they are not free to do as they choose, they have to listen to their parents and most often they're fine with it. However, as the child grows older, it will begin to seek more and more freedom. Walking by themselves, going to movies without their parents, driving, and eventually moving away. We seek freedom, we don't want to be told what to do any longer, and we want to figure out who we are, which can only be achieved through being free .

Humans are very similar; we have a tendency to not conform to things. you got your dream jeep? Now I want a lambo. You got the iPhone 11? now I want the 13. Now this can be a good or bad thing. Unfortunately in this situation it is a negative. No matter how free we are, we want more. it is like the cat chasing the laser.

Your freedom may come at the expense of others, as it did in the book "Into the Wild". Happiness comes from within and does not cause distress or any negative consequences for others, which is what ultimately matters as a member of society.

If being being free doesn't necessarily mean that one will be happy and being happy matters more than being free, than happiness matters more than freedom. I would rather be happy and have all of my rights taken away instead of being free and being depressed.

The ability to be deciding your own future is something more important than happiness. If this freedom were to suddenly be taken away like in 1984, we become the same, unable to express ourselves or choose our future.

The necessity of happiness outweighs the luxury of freedom. Without happiness, humans have no will to live. If it isn’t enjoyable, there would be no reason to live it. It’s like playing an extremely difficult or boring video game, if it isn’t enjoyable, there is no reason to play on.

Happiness can blind a person to reality and in turn, they are not truly living a full life. When you have freedom, you have the ability to be your true self and maintain a healthy consciousness, which opens the doors to so many possibilities and also gives the opportunity for a more real contentment.

It is more important to be free because, without freedom, the prospect of happiness is much harder to achieve. Ultimately, humans have an innate need to be free because we are born with free will. That longing to live your life the way you want to live it is the key to happiness. And, that key can not be attained unless you are free to go and chase it.

Happiness is a temporary concept. Happiness is simply a fleeting emotion, whereas freedom is a lifestyle and a mindset. You will never be content when striving for happiness, but you can live in a way true to yourself when you are free, which leads to something much stronger and more reliable than happiness could ever be.

Happiness is more easily obtained than freedom, and as humans, we don't really know when we're free. I feel it's much better to be happy since we know when we're happy, thus giving a more clear goal.

There isn't a definite point in the journey to freedom, it's always changing and never truly satisfactory, but happiness is easier to reach, and it will make up the vital parts to a significant life when one dies.

Freedom allows for the creation of things that transcend human mortality. Happiness is great, but it is also a temporary human emotion. Happiness in a vacuum of freedom and individual choice is not true happiness, it is an illusion.

Happiness means so much more in life when you have it. It changes you mentally and can make life so much easier.

Freedom could include happiness, but it's not guaranteed. You can be free of rules and society, but that doesn’t ensure happiness. Happiness is vital for a great life.

Freedom doesn’t always have the result of happiness. Happiness is a concept and it may be different for everyone, its a combination of events converging to create a fitting ideal. You can't ever be completely free of what you want to escape.

Freedom is an illusion. We can never be truly free, so chasing it is a recipe for unhappiness. Ultimately, we only have so much time, so I'd rather live it with a smile than a frown.
