Is it good to seek peace of mind in extremes ?
ลองอ่านดูนะคะให้ข้อคิดมากมายเลย
Hillary and Tenzing are famous around
t he world for being the first people to
climb Mount Everest in 1953.
But few people have heard about the
discussion they had half way up the
mountain.
"You see Tenzing, we are going to
tame the dragon of Everest. We have
been climbing its back, and soon we
will be higher than its head."
"Yes, I see Hillary, but I am not as
enthusiastic as you are."
"But look at the fantastic view. We
are at a crossroads: down there is the
valley, our resting place, the ultimate
depression. And up there is the roof of
the world, the highest point on earth,
with its eternal snow. What more could
you want?"
"I don't want anything. I know people
who have been depressed, and who have
sworn to me that they reached the very
bottom of their being. And that is not
a good place to be, believe me. I have
also spoken to people who reached the
summit of their existence, and who
sacrificed everything to get there.
They did not seem happier. When you are
at the top, you are alone, it's cold,
and nothing grows there.
"Personally, I prefer staying with my
friends and family, at a level where I
am comfortable. You are not at peace,
Hillary, because you look up or down
too much. You don't know how to stay
still." _______________
Is it good to seek peace of mind in
extremes? This little conversation
seems to say that it is not.
True, everyone admires the prowess
of Hillary and Tenzing, but that has
nothing to do with the serenity we seek
in life. People perform exploits for
other reasons than finding happiness.
It is not good to live in extremes.
"Virtue has its own just measure."
