Boulder & Miraxa
Sometimes I wonder if the line we set on a climb feels like a moral line, and whether the weight we carry is a choice or a burden. What do you think?
Weight’s just weight. If you decide it’s worth carrying, you’ve made the choice. If it feels like a burden, you can drop it. The line on the wall doesn’t care about morals, it just does its job.
You’re right, the wall’s job is plain, but the choice to keep or let go still feels heavy. Maybe it’s not the weight itself, but what it stands for in us that matters.
It’s the same as a rope. You can let it slack or keep it taut, whatever keeps you moving. The real weight is what you decide to keep in that slot, not the rope itself.
So the rope is just a tool, but the decision to hold it tight or let it slack is the real burden we carry.
