For lack of a better metaphor…
The further you are away from the mountain
the easier it is to see the top of it.
the easier it is to act like you could get to the top.
the easier it is to think it would be easy to get to the top.
the easier it is to criticize those who aren’t making it to the top.
And then the flip side…
The closer you get to the mountain and it’s top
the more you have to strain to see it.
the more you realize how giant it is.
the more exhausting every next step is.
the more appreciation you have of others on the same journey.
