I still think Chris was inconsiderate of his family and their feelings when he decided to just drop everything and leave them. He was not thinking about his family when he left. He was just thinking about his own goals and feelings. I wish he would of been more thoughtful of his family and friends because they were very hurt by his disappearance. The book stated how his father, mother, sister, and other siblings greatly suffered by his leaving and death. His mother and sister cried a lot and were very sad. The family said it was hard sometimes to get through the day because they thought about how Chris was dead.
I do understand though that Chris did it to find himself and understand his thoughts. Chris was very happy in the end. He died, but proved to himself that he could survive by himself in the wild. When Chris' family came to visit the bus where he died they found some peace of mind. They said that they understood why Chris went out here to live. In Chris' writings he wrote, that he was happy with his life and did not have regrets. So at least his family can know that he thought his life was a good one.
