Recently, searching for "Beautiful Works" I stumbled upon a video I had seen months ago about free soloing, or rope-less climbing. The guy in the video, Alex Honnold, climbs without any harness or rope, no safety net or anything, he falls= he's dead. The videos shows the tense recording that make you cringe, he is so high up, one bad move and bam, dead. Scary as it sounds, Alex is calmer than ever. He has prepared, he knows what he is doing, he's just living, doing.
I think that sometimes fear stands in our way of actually doing anything. Fear of getting so high up and then falling down on one bad move you make. Fear drives our do's and dont's, our dreams, our whole life. We create a story, a distraction, we deviate from what we actually really want and end up nowhere at all. We build ourselves these parameters that show what we can and can't do. We pull in opinions from society, we add in a little bit of our own judgement, and end up with a dark piece of junk which burdens our mind and happiness.
Fear, the biggest disease of all.
