When we reach the summit of a mountain, what will we do?
First, we'll surely face the noble sky, spread our arms
wide, and spin around. First, we'll raise our cameras,
strike a peace sign, and capture ourselves, the sky, and
the sun. Then, will we blow a kiss to the world? But
don’t get carried away. Mountains once you reach the
summit, you must descend again. At the summit, we cannot
pitch a tent. At the summit, we cannot live.
Naturally, no one builds a house at the summit.
The summit, it’s not a place for people to live. As we
were saying this, our stomachs started to growl, and we
got thirsty. At the summit, we will search our
backpacks, and probably nibble on some Calorie Mate. What
does this signify? This, this... Could this perhaps be
the end of life? Food and drink, just a little in our
backpacks. What if we get stranded at the summit?
Sometimes, we'd seen on TV news of people getting
stranded, and it suddenly crosses our minds. We hurriedly
gather our things and try to descend as if fleeing from
the summit. As if escaping from the sky we embraced, we
try to descend.
Without feeling truly alive, half-crying, we desperately,
desperately make our way down the mountain. When we
finally reach the foothills, we breathe a sigh of relief,
our hearts saved, and we look back at the summit. How
did we manage to climb such a high mountain? Even we are
amazed at ourselves. Does this story mirror the story of
life? There are those who answer, “yes,” and those who
answer, “no.”This story will likely serve as a comfort to
those who were at the peak of life only for a fleeting
moment. Indeed, indeed, I too have such moments. If one
says, "The summit is not a place for people to live,"
then, "Well, I guess that's how it is," even if you tumble
down from the peak of life in an instant, you can probably
remain peaceful at heart.
However, there are certainly people who continue to live on
the summit. There are people who truly live on the summit.
It seems that some people continue to live at the peak of
life. What do you think about that? And there are also
those who have several vacation homes on the summit. What
do you think about that? Can one really live on the summit?
No, perhaps the summit really is not a place where
people can reside. Do people have to promptly descend from
the summit after all?
