To be a survivor in life one must have the companionship and support of others. Without the companionship of Lennie, George would have faced the same sad life other migrant farmers faced in the 1930's.

Christopher McCandless did not have the support of others during his travels, and in the end it cost him his sanity and his life. Currently many farmers across the globe are desperately searching for companionship, tired of the lonely life on secluded farms. George and Lennie were able to bypass those problems and survive in life because they had each other to rely on.
