Picture a black,
moonless night. Picture yourself working
your way up a mountain, a mountain so tall that the peak is not in
sight. You have climbed and climbed for
what seems like forever, and you wonder if you will ever reach a plateau. Forced to stumble on in darkness, you curse
and cry of the cruel fate which pushed you to this endless mountainside.
For so long you
have walked alone, frightened and cold, that you ignore the paths which spring
up beside you and lead in unknown directions.
Sometimes you hesitate, tempted by the chance of finding a better route,
but you kill the longing by reminding yourself that this mountain is all you
know and it is all you have. Do not take
chances – do not stray off the road which has always supported and welcomed you
You took a
different path once. And even though it
was beautiful, and even though it was warm and inviting, it was not the easy
way you had been led to believe. It too
was a struggle, and you were not prepared to face the difficulties ahead. In anger and confusion you turned to your
mountain, and now your mountain forces you to painfully remember the path you
once knew. Do not take another risk
although you do not know whether or not the risk is as dangerous as you once
believed.
You have poured
every ounce of your energy into scaling your mountain. If you abandoned your mountain, you might
not have any life left inside of you. No
matter what you have been told, you know that they mountain They call Hate will
never break your heart and lie to you, as the mountain Love did long ago.
