The recent Remembrance Day (aka Poppy Day) observed by the Commonwealth Nations on 11 November 2018 commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Armistice which ended the First World War (1914 to 1918).
The blessings such as peace that the people of a nation enjoy today is a result of sacrifices rendered by others who have gone before them.
At the personal level, we are able to scale new heights because of the sacrifices or inputs provided by other people. All these blessing have given us the foot holds to keep climbing onward and upward.
As and when we attain our goals, a new vantage or breakthrough for a sweeter life, may we never forget our foot-holds of manifold blessings and, in turn, learn to help others within our means by paying back to our community.
When we reach out to one another, we strengthen social compact for a more cohesive society where the disadvantaged are not forgotten or left behind at the foot of the boulder in the corner of our world.
By the way, rock climbing, be it indoor or outdoor with proper safety safeguards under the guidance of trained professionals, will, inter alia, provide a full body workout, train our focus and really remind us of how the blessings in life have held us up when we were hanging on for dear life at moments of crisis.
