Climbing and hiking mountains is a passion for some. I'm not going to say mountain climbing a passion for me but I will say that the outdoors is something I love very much. The world is different in the countryside. Its slower, more real, and an honest reflection of life. Ok...maybe not an honest reflection of modern life but a reflection of life before the advent of modern times.
Its one of those places where the air is fresh and crisp in the morning and leads to a rejuvenated feeling. For some, it is a place that has the greatest respect and value for life. When the birds are chirping and the critters are scampering we become again connected to our specie's past.
Not all people respect the outdoors. It isn't hard to see the beer cans, litter, and blight that encroaches on the forest everyday. Some of these actions are careless and foolish while others are more grounded in the need to create more financial value. We can see this in places where constant deforestation occurs in the name of more money. I love money, wish I had more, but also love the world we live in.
I would love to see someday society stop urban sprawl and move more toward rejuvenating existing structures, building them upwards and trying to create a more friendly eco-city environment. The technology might be available but is still out of city-planning budgets. I do believe that technology and eco-based cities are coming soon. We will be redesigning our society to incorporate necessity and new values.
