This is why I started hiking and summiting mountains. I mean, not literally why, but it’s chasing that new and novel high.

I’m reminded of this article from a couple of days ago in the Globe and Mail, specifically as a response to Musk’s anti-empathy comments: Empathy is not a Weakness, it’s a Strength
