I bought a second hand projector and got into watching a lot of films on climbing, which also involves a lot of falling. These sorts of images stop you, long conga lines of people heading to the summit of Everest. Up close , if you listen to the person's story,they all seem to be attempting to overcome or fulfil something in the challenge. But from afar, it took me a little while to understand why I was unsettled by it.
We have to conquer . It is our triumph and our tragedy. I understand those who dedicate themselves to climbing but now you can put down your money and attempt it. No guarantee you do as it is difficult but also that person can't just sit with the idea that it is ok to have something greater than them and yet still feel secure in themselves.
