Everest Mountain is the world's highest mountain that offers climbers a challenging adventure and experience. Everest also has a philosophical teaching: the idea that humans should remain humble in the face of the forces of nature and see themselves as a part of nature.
One day, a climber decides to climb Everest Mountain. The climber has high self-confidence and is sure he can reach the summit. However, Everest's snow, rain, and wind are much stronger than the climber's estimate, and as he climbs towards the summit, he finds himself struggling more and more and becoming aware of the power of nature.
The climber quickly loses his self-confidence in the face of Everest Mountain's forces. Now, instead of ambition to reach the summit, he realizes the importance of seeing himself as a part of nature. Reaching the summit is not just a personal achievement, but is seen as a collaboration with the forces of nature.
When the climber submits to the power of Everest Mountain, he begins to feel his existence as a part of nature. Instead of reaching the summit, he grasps the importance of being in harmony with the forces of nature. This experience is valid for the rest of the climber's life. He sees himself as a part of nature and continues to strive to live in harmony with it.
This story shows that Everest Mountain is not just a mountain for humans, but also a philosophical teaching that reminds us of the importance of being humble and respectful in the face of the forces of nature. Submitting to the forces of nature can help control human's arrogant nature and thus see themselves as a part of nature.
