Life is just like the Mountains

Life is just like the Mountains. 

To begin with the obvious, mountains cannot be imagined without it's regular up's and down's. If you're climbimg up, then you will have to climb down later and vice-versa. The cycle always plays full. Depending on which stage, what phase you are, the ups and downs/highs and lows are handled accordingly. 

Like mountains without bends are unimaginable, so it is for life. The bends in both are a constant. No bend is alike, some are hair pin, some seem like only a wide curve. And even when we get a preview of what's coming ahead, only when you take the turn you know what's in store. Navigate and cross that we must, only on our own. 

Life is just like the Mountains. The further you go towards the tip, the better picture you get. The mountains crossed a while back are now on the other side and are seen with much clarity, than the one which we're on or just leaving behind. The ones we're on or leaving behind are visible either just as a haze of dust or too close to view much, before they too dissappear.  

The more you age, the better you reflect and undertsand things, the more higher up you go, the more vast and beautiful the view. Maybe not every detail is seen, but it doesn't matter by then. The journey is seen totally, from A - Z; and that is more important.  

Life is just like the mountains. Some more captivating, more lush while others more of barren reds, browns and blacks. By the same token, life is compartively easier for many and not so much for several.

The effort to reach the top, akin to life goals; only few are brave enough to chase hard and conquer. Similar to the mountains, life too rewards you with the well earned perks, once you succeed in reaching the summit.

Life is just like the Mountains. The most striking similarity being, many a times, it looks intimidating when you look at the enormousness of it. You wonder if you can even cross it. You feel like giving up even before starting. But to move ahead, we have no option but to cross it. There is no other choice, is there?
