And our climbing trip is just about to be finished. We had to say “good bye” to Zermatt and slowly move towards Lyon. It is always too hard to see those white summits in a back mirror. I learn quite a lot in last 10 days about myself but also about a new generation coming after me. I watched people and their way they behaved in different situations. I had seen a difference between words and actions. It is interesting to see how people can look for self satisfaction and have a hard time to reach beyond themselves. I think one of the problems of our world is a blind believe that we can do everything and we can solve any problem. It is only a matter of time and there will be no more questions about anything. And then the reality of life comes and all our utopian ideas are falling apart. The second problem is an arrogance. I notice how people do not respect other cultures, customs etc. They expect anybody to follow they wants.
Pride, arrogance and want, changed our countries, cities and families. Mountaineering teaches to be humble. It doesn’t matter how many hours you spent in a gym or how many different diets you finished previous year. What really matters is your self-discipline, order, planning, and honesty with yourself. Above all those elements is our faith that with any end of a trip you are ready to face God. Our life is exactly like that. All politicians, movie stars, super famous singers etc. will have to answer the same question. Did you love “God’. Each one of us will see own life in a back mirror.
