Query: A compassionate rendering of a tragic tale

I found myself so wishing that things had worked out for Chris, that he had gone through his need to find whatever he was looking for, and returned alive and the better for his search. Mr. Krakauer has written a book that should touch the seeker in all of us. It should encourage us to have some compassion for those who look so hard to find meaning in this life and yet can fail tragically in that search. One does not have to go all that far to find such people. I do wish there were more people like Chris, a man who took his life seriously. I am grateful that there are people like Mr. Krakauer who enable us to remember Chris and hopefully learn from his life.
