You climb to reach the summit, but once there, discover that all roads lead down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
Anytime you finish a climb, there's always the next thing you can try.
Climbing is a journey without culmination.
You have to know when you're at the top of your particular mountain, I guess. Maybe not the summit, but as high as you can go.
When you reach the top, that's when the climb begins.
When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it.
If you don't know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.
You learn over years of expeditions that having faith, and putting one foot in front of the other, you do end up pulling off climbs that seem completely impossible. There's a certain beauty to that. It has an allure.
Once you go down a road, you take it through to the end.
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
