I realised something. the universe is huge and our lives are tiny and short. We sip all of this richness through the very narrowest of straws - one lifetime, one consciousness, one perspective, one set of experiences. Of all the universe has, has had, and will have to offer, we can know only the tiniest fraction. We are alone and minuscule and our lives are over in a blink. But here's the thing. people still get bored. Only possible explanation I could think of, Its all about the endorphins. You know that stuff that makes you feel good. Its literally like a high and with highs it's all about chasing that feeling. The problem is in order to get that same feeling you need a higher and higher release. so after work I wanted to do nothing but get out of my house. I went backpacking Uttarakhand in last week of Dec'24. I watched a couple of sunrise, and sunsets, and thought more about life, putting it into perspective. which made me fall in love with mountains first time - twice. I have always been absolutely mystified and obsessed with mountains since I can remember. Maybe because they are grand, majestic, scenic, natural and beautiful. When I see them, I feel in awe and at peace, something about the mountains makes me feel so alive and happy. I miss them! ________________________________________________________________________________
