Climbing mountains

Is it strange when we think of life as it is similar to climbing a mountain? Is it even stranger to discover after years of working so hard to reach the top of the mountain, you realize that it's the wrong one. This is what happened to him. Ten years he spent on the wrong mountain. And yet he considered it time well-spent. In retrospect, no one could have told him he was on the wrong pile of dirt. He had to find out himself. This, in the ironic ways life screws with us, makes it a right mountain in some sense. There never was a different mountain for him, because he was not capable to envisioning that different one. So he climbed the mountain he saw until that day when he realized that he had made it to the top: the apex, where eagles crap. And that's when he noticed the mountain he was meant to climb far off in the distance. He also noticed something else… people who is climbing that mountain seem happy. He wants to be happy. So he did the only thing a sane man could do in his circumstance, he sent words to those people telling them that they were in the wrong mountain.

I thought about this during my shower this afternoon after my daily weight lifting (pardon my shameless advertisement). When I was done reflecting, I got out of the shower, toweled off and pondered a new thought: "I have a pretty nice ass".

An important news last week was the replacement of Charlie Sheen on 2.5 Men by Ashton Kutcher. I'm glad that my favorite show is not dead. I'm skeptical about Ashton, he hasn't been in anything good for years, including Demi Moore.

Hello, friends.. I trust you are well. I don't like the weather here today.

... Climbing to the apex where eagles crap, you will then aspire for crapping like eagles. An eagle must keep its stomach empty if they want to crap while 'apex' people have tons of thoughts including dirt inside their body and soul... Happiness/Sorrow is abstract. Is it better to put it into relative comparison?

I think your posts have recently reached a new level - kinh. :))
