My thoughts on Catcher

I just read Catcher In The Rye last weekend. I've never read it before. The continuous chatter of the main character Holden drew me in and kept me hanging on like when someone speaks in run on sentences and never gives you a break to end the conversation.  He just kept going, but it wasn't idle chatter, it was full of meaning and knowing.
  He's kind of a nonconformist rebel. I don't see the rebel as so bad these days. I feel like I get where they are coming from. I don't think their true desire is to be outcast and alone. No one truly wants that. It's just that they see through all the bull crap that everyone is functioning in and expecting of them, and they refuse to play the game.  The more they refuse, the more they get put out. Until they just stop trying.  They accept it's inevitable to be misunderstood, and they make no more effort to be heard with words. They then get in your face with any other means they can, I believe they do this because they are reaching out for love like all of us. I believe this because I feel it myself at times.
  Holden, in Catcher, couldn't endure the crap of typical society where everyone is turned away from the real stuff and just living in the shallows of ego and meaninglessness.  Though he is constantly frustrated with people, you find that it stems from wanting more for them and himself, not just general disdain.  His description of what he would want to do as the catcher in the rye watching the children play and catching any that were about to fall off the cliff reveals his heart for people. So beautiful.
  I just think...it seems that God is like that. Watching all of humanity play like children and wanting to catch us when we are in harms way.  And.... should that be our heart toward each other?  Enjoying each other and catching each other when we are about to fall off the cliff.
