* There's more to life than staying alive.*
um... what?
- dasil003 16y agoYou heard right, think about it for a while.

- mike-cardwell 16y agoRisking your life climbing a mountain is no more "living", than sitting at home with your family watching tv is. Romanticised bullshit. If you enjoy doing something, do it. Don't do it so you can add it to your list of life experiences so you can pretend that you've lived a better life than somebody who hasn't done it.
- loewenskind 16y agoI think what is required to even get the change to summit Everest weeds out any people who are just there so they can "pretend they've lived a better life".
- mike-cardwell 16y agoI disagree. Most of the time when people do stuff like this, they do it just so they can tell other people that they've done it. They don't do it for the experience, they do it for the bragging rights. Note, I'm not talking about everyone that does it, just most people.
- dasil003 16y agoDude, you are talking so far out your ass that your small intestine is showing.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoOk. Nobody ever does anything for bragging rights.
- pwhelan 16y agoNot everything is binary. Other people have different motivations than you. Not everyone does an Ironman for bragging rights. Not everyone starts a company for bragging rights.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoIf you read my previous comment you will see I addressed exactly that. "Note, I'm not talking about everyone that does it, just most people."
- dasil003 16y agoReality check: how many people do you know that climbed Everest? When you claim to know why most people do something that you actually have no clue about, you look like an incredibly arrogant douche.
- pwhelan 16y agoI am aware of that. I felt it warranted repeating for this conversation given what you had written up to my response.
