he didnt want to spend his life like some ascetic. he decided to come back to normal society and continue his life like a normal person but with a better understanding of life. his aim was to find the meaning of life. not spend the rest of his days in some cave or a bus in this case. the meaning he found was different. he wanted to spend the rest of his days among people. "Happiness is only real when shared" remember this quote? he couldnt cross the river cz snow had already started to melt by the time he started his journey back home. so his plan was to wait out the summer and start his journey back once winter started. it was during this time he mistakenly consumed some toxic seed. he couldnt have known it. they were pretty much identical to some edible seed around that area. he wasnt some reckless fool as u think. nor did he hate society. he pitied people's aimless and consumerist lifestyle. but he didnt hate anyone. i honestly think he's a hero everyone should look up to.
his parents were a bunch of narcissistic monsters. read the book by his sister. ud realize what im saying.
and u know what's the best part is? he could have burned the forest which would have signal the fire fighters and save his life. he had all the fuel he need right next to him. compare it with people like rishard badurdeen. he chose to sacrifice his life rather than burning a whole forest. ♥
