If the mountain doesn't go to Mohamed...
Hello all!
I'm afraid, this is going to be the hardest post, because it wears the title of my entire blog. The meaning of this saying: 'If the mountain doesn't go to Mohamed, Mohamed will go to the mountain' has a common and a symbolic meaning for me. Theoretically I guessed this name for my blog after visiting Innsbruck. There I could reach more than 2300 m high, and felt like I'm on the top of the World, seeing the other mountain tops, feeling infinity. The everyday meaning of the saying refers to the fact that of course, the Alps are motionless and won't come to Budapest where I live my usual student life, nor to Graz, and watching them on Tv, or in the geography atlas is not that much fun than seeing them HD in real time. For that reason I packed my things and traveled to Innsbruck.
The abstract message of this sentence is that if I get stucked to my ordinary life, I won't face any new impulses and won't see anything of the World and won't learn anything about life. I think it's extremely important to widen our perspectives, move out of our comfort zones, try ourselves in unknown situations, otherwise we're just moving round and round without evoluation. So we all have to be Mohameds, and go to mountains. The mountains are just like I described the Alps in my previous posts. (The Austrian big apple - Innsbruck (1) and (2). At the beginning you feel small and powerless in front of them, but while climbing them and reaching the top, You gain knowledge, experience, You become wiser, richer and happier. Mountains are challenges. Pack Yourselves and go, challenge Yourselves and face them! You are the only winners of this game.
