Great post. You covered it all. Everyone’s reasons for attempting the climb are different.

Like you said, the appeal of taking risks isn't for every individual, me included.

In response to "The inspiration"

I think we do forget to be in the moment. We see the big picture as overwhelming forgetting that all the little pieces are what makes is special in the moment. I know I'm guilty of that a lot.

In response to "My Answer"

Yes, loving our world is complicated and messy, but I don't think we have much choice except love it, and if not, maybe we can just accept it as is.

In response to "The Prompt"

Absolutely! I agree with you. After a certain time in our lives, circumstances permitting, we can create ourselves. The problem, if there's a problem, lies with our paying far too much attention to what others may say. As you pointed out, mostly, external creation leads to self-creation.

In response to "The wasteland"

Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.

Nice entry and I agree. Failure is a teacher but not always, and it is not for everyone.

Laughter

Prompt: Laughter

"There's great value in being able to step back and laugh at yourself, at life, and at attitudes. Laughter helps you put everything into perspective."
Jim Henson
what do you think about this prompt and do you ever laugh at yourself?

That's a wonderful quote from Jim Henson, and it resonates deeply with me. The idea that laughter provides perspective is incredibly insightful.
I think this prompt beautifully captures a crucial aspect of emotional intelligence and resilience. It highlights several key benefits of laughter:
* Self-Awareness and Acceptance: Being able to laugh at yourself suggests a degree of self-awareness and a willingness to acknowledge your own imperfections and foibles. It's a sign of not taking yourself too seriously, which can be very liberating.
* Coping Mechanism: Laughter acts as a powerful stress reliever. It can diffuse tense situations, lighten heavy moods, and help you process difficult experiences with a bit more detachment.
* Shifting Perspective: As Henson says, laughter helps you put things into perspective. When you can find humor in a situation – even a challenging one – it often diminishes its power and allows you to see it from a different, perhaps less threatening, angle.
* Building Connection: Shared laughter is a fantastic way to connect with others. It fosters a sense of camaraderie and understanding.
* Overall Well-being: Studies have shown the physiological benefits of laughter, from releasing endorphins to boosting the immune system. It's truly a holistic tool for well-being.
