However, her comments about life, using climbing the mountain as a metaphor, attracts me to "Mountain Top" even more. I happen to agree with the artist that reaching the top of the mountain, by achieving preeminence in some area, is not worth dedicating the majority of one's life to it. To me working toward being the best in anything important is not worth the amount of life that one must give up even in order to try to achieve the goal. Others disagree with us, of course, which is why people who are the "best" at any endeavor exist. It is merely a matter of choices and while I greatly respect those who want the top and who try so very hard for it, I, like Trine Meyer Vogsland, have no desire to be one of them.blhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520705849685484773noreply@blogger.com
