Hey folks,
Just got back from a solo of 2 14ers, I thought about this thread while I was up there. I know IM not like most of you and for that I am glad, not to say there's something wrong with you IM just glad IM who I am and that I do not live like you. To call me selfish says it all, a complete lack of understanding about what I do, thats ok, I know and understand how a person like that lives.
I am not selfish, I work with the homeless and plan to work with abused childen as well, so if you feel IM selfish thats your hangup. I am single, my family does not think IM selfish at all, they love me and I love them. The beauty of it, is they love me for who I am and accept me for who I am as well.
I am not reckless, I love life more then I could put into words, thats exactly why I do what I do, to experience life to the fullest, if you find hiking in a group, leaving a plan, carrying a cell phone challenging all the power to you, please realize Im not even knocking it, thats the difference between those who post harse words against my way and me, Im willing to say, your way works for you, then thats ok, Im happy for you and have not a negative word to say about you.
Most focus their lives on familys, houses, cars, kids, there civilized to a tee, Im a adventurer, my belongings fit in a small trailer, I loathe material things they mean nothing, I own what I need to live and climb, my most prized possesions are in my head and heart.
Man people are so critical of others, the world is a harsh place, because people judge others and have contempt for any way that differs from theirs. People need to sit back and realize its the very difference in peoples ways, creeds and lives that make this world so interesting, do you want everyone to be like you.
OH one more thing, dont throw the search and rescue thing at me, if your hearts not in SAR then dont do it, your job is to go out and help people not judge them.
Sherpajohn, you seem like an interesting person, when I get back to NH maybe we can head out and climb something, I could use some intersting converstaion after all these solo's
