The wilderness is a place full of wildlife in uncharted territory. An unpredictable place full of dangers. A place that forces you to use your skills, lessons and abilities to fight the dangers of the wilderness and survive. A place that forces you to rely on yourself instead of others to survive. A place that has no laws and everything is a fairy game. A place to connect with nature. A place where you can become one with nature. A place that changes you instead of you changing the place. The wilderness may seem like a horrible place, but it is undeniably beautiful. After this experience, wilderness for me means much more than just an uncorrupted place for the human hand because humans are part of the wilderness. If I could sit on a rock connecting with the wild without disrupting stability, then others can too. Now I can understand that we humans are wild and have retreated from the wilderness. Now I can see some similarities between wildlife and humans. We humans are territorial, we fight for mates, and we thrive on the thought of survival. In the end, all I can see is that we were wild and domesticated ourselves to the point where we could connect to nature. Although this doesn't mean we can't enjoy the wilderness when we feel homesick because the wilderness is ours
