Looking down.

January 5th, 2007

Mountaintops only make us look up and enjoy the view never seen the whole journey up. But then we look down and feel all dizzy. "Wait a minute, what happens when i fall down?" "Oh gosh! There is no way I am going back down there, after all, I’m finally up here. What could i possibly want all the way down there?"

Sometimes, those could be the most dangerous words spoken.

After some thought on my Huge life-changing experience, I realize that getting here, moving forward and getting my life back to order is less valuable, then the aching quadriceps and tired arms climbing the way up. True, i LOVE Mountaintop Experiences. But inasmuch as i want to remain here, i know i don’t truly belong here. At least not yet.

Humans being humans want easy lives. But we fail to realize, life is a journey, and it is in this journey that our imperfections are rubbed off, sometimes scraped off (accompanied with lots of bruising and pain), and it would not end until we are complete and wholly perfect. Mountaintops are great R&R stations, but definitely not conducive to grow, to learn and to fall (by golly, the last one is speaking from experience - it is MUCH TOO PAINFUL to fall from great heights).

this year, gotta really sit down and think this through. I am no Sadist-Masochist, wanting pain and all, but if it will make me stronger…
