Climb Or Life-cliff?


It was six o' clock. Many people were going where there and everywhere. It was raining and getting dark more and more. Along the way, the sound of streaming stream was a close friend. While everything around except the sound of steps was silent, a heavy breath became a loud noise. Both our knees and our throats were shaking and burning with thirsty while our stomachs crying for food. Suddenly, came out a weary voice: OK, buddies, let's take a rest for a moment. No argument nor reply to it among us. Why? Everybody was ready to have a rest. Yes, at that time, we were climbing up to the second highest and the holiest mountain of Srilanka: Sri Pada, where the Lord Buddha reached and left his footprint. As a matter of fact, when we sat down, we had been climbing up to it for about over 2 hours. So cliff. Dog-tired. Sometimes, I felt I couldn't go on anymore and it would be better to go back. ''I can't go anymore'' I thought. But I could. During that time, a flash of thought came into my mind again and over: life is nothing but climbing, success in life is none but the climb. So cliff and so complicated. We might fall down over and over while striving for what we believe in our life as if we are to take rest again and again at the time of climbing up to this mountain. Once we give up our faith, we become weak and lose heart. We can, on the contrary, go on even though so tired and weak, should we keep our faith and will strong and fresh ever, believing in our strength. My mind was full of such countless thought. But it is true. Why? We could reach that mountain and pay homage to the Buddha's footprint. Only strong mind or faith in our goal, do we need to get what we want. It may take us several times to hold our ends.
