It's a quiet place to be alone with your thoughts.
Unless you're some kind of sperg that hates being alone in nature it is the prime location to search oneself.
Whether you come to some kind of revelation depends on what you were planning to find out.

Am I weird?
I went on a Nols course this past summer, not sure if that sort of thing would be frowned upon here or whatever, but I spent 21 days backpacking and rock climbing in the Wind River Mountain Range in Wyoming. No phones or electronics of any kind, just me and fifteen other people twenty plus miles away from anything else.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you it changed my life. But honestly there's something special about being out in nature like that. It isnt just a bunch of bullshit. I saw more beauty on that trip than ive ever seen in "the real world." Isolation in nature is an incredibly moving intimate experience

'Then a scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go." Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."'

That's retarded, men have homes just like a Fox has a den

I like to think of my outdoor experiences as somewhat of a search for the "sublime" as the romantic period artists called it.

pic related, I took it while I was up there
don't let experiencing nature be confined to the pseudo-masculine /k/ and /pol/ cultures that are often perpetuated here. It can be a beautiful experience if you let it.

It's far from the maddening crowd, and also takes you out of yourself, and both combined let you think slower with more clarity and less angst, so yes, outoors does search oneself.
Has anyone here ever experienced Rausch while /out/?
Basically seems like the only reason to live desu.

What I get from it, is that no matter where you are or go, you're always in the wilderness that is this world. Houses and cities are just the wild molded into something we use to hide ourselves from that. The scribe is already without a home, even if he doesn't follow Jesus. The house you're in is just camp for the night, no matter how elaborate it is. This isn't our home.

this man gets it.
The ultimate beauty is when you can appreciate all the minute details of life so that even the most mundane things are experienced as if for the first time.
>a white as pure as snow, able to reflect the palette of the world. Including the tiniest colors that everyone else seems to overlook. Like so, you are truly able to find infinite wonder.
>There is nothing ugly; I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, — light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
cool pic : >
