一次又一次的去冒险,是为了“活”得更好!每一次登山,是又一次生命的重生?“Every summit is different, each a different life that you have lived.”
Anatoli Boukreev的“Above the Clouds”里面,有这样几段话 -其实他们也问自己这样的问题“What drives an individual to climb mountains, to attempt the unnecessary, to risk life?”
" I want to achieve something essential in life, something that cannot be measured by wealth or position in society. I want to respect myself as a man and to earn the respect of my friends and family. Clearly, it was my fate to be an athlete. With the gift of that ability, I must strive to realize my potential as a human being.
Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambitions to achieve. They are cathedrals, grand and pure, the houses of my religion. I approach them as any human goes to worship. On their altars I strive to perfect myself physically and spiritually. In their presence I attempt to understand my life, to exorcise vanity, greed, and fear. From the vantage of their lofty summits, I view my past, dream of the future, and with unusual acuteness I experience the present moment. That struggle renews my strength and clears my vision. In the mountains, I celebrate creation, for on each journey I am reborn."
(BTW,我认为Jon Krakauer的“Into Thin Air”对他不是很公平)
