Then the painfully jagged fall down the other side to remind you that life's cruel and unforgiving.

Right, the reality is there is no peak. The mountain is always there.

Society is such that the ultra wealthy stealing the fruits of our labors have the excess to pay someone else to make the journey.

Set clear goals. Just fail fast. Be better. Accept a day where motivation is lacking in exchange for self care. Then move on with your goals.

Lol half the comments are like this. This isn't the /r/lifeispointlessfuckeverything subreddit it's /r/GetMotivated

Images like this aren't motivating tho. It's a reminder that there are those with skills that can, and you will die if you try and can't.

If that's how you choose to look at it...

George Carlin said, "Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist."

So I mean, I get it. I just didn't expect so much of it in this particular sub. And no hate to anyone who thinks this world is shit. I haven't lived their life and can't fault them for their outlook on these things.

I had a big ass thing typed out on my phone, got distracted and closed the app and won't type it all out again.

The gist was, "People should try not to take everything as a literal meaning. Figuratively speaking, my mountain has been weight loss. Since end of Nov. '19, I left society behind and chose a life of WFH lock-down. I gained 50 lbs in two years eating trash foods. Lost 35 of it. Gained 20 back from getting sick after a surgery. Falling down this mountain (which the image does not depict anyway) would represent that 20 lb setback."

TLDR: Ppl should try not to take everything so literal. Figurative expressions exist. Setbacks happen, and it's okay.
