The Good Man

There is a couple who love climbing mountains. The man's name is Wood and the woman's name is Kathy. The couple climbed Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, and won the honor for it.

However, there is an unknown thing that has been locked in their hearts for nine years. Nine years ago, Wood and Kathy successfully climbed to the top of Mount Everest, but they had trouble going down the mountain. On the snowy hillside, they accidentally met the female climber Asendive.

Ascendif is a famous mountaineer in the world. He and her husband met while climbing Mount Everest, and their common interests brought them together. This time, they completed the summit task without carrying oxygen equipment. However, an accident happened when going down the mountain.

The couple separated halfway, and her husband accidentally fell to the mountain and died. Asendif was forced to spend the night alone on a hillside at MINUS 30 degrees. When Wood and Kathy met her, she was very weak and her life was in danger. Asendive asked the Woods not to leave her, save her and take her down the mountain.

At that time, Wood and Kathy stayed around Sandivo for about an hour. Later, they saw that the snow was getting heavier and colder, and it was difficult to protect themselves when they went down the mountain. How can they have the strength to take a seriously ill patient with them? After hesitation, the two left in pain. In the end, the only person waiting for a 40-year-old female climber, Ascendif, could only freeze to death on the mountain.

Although no one knows about Asendif's death, it is not their fault. As we all know, as a climber, the most important thing is to protect yourself, because in such an extreme environment, everyone has no rescue mission, and it is almost impossible to complete such a mission. I once read such a report. Also on the way down the mountain. Also a couple. Unfortunately, his wife fell into a crack in the mountain. Her husband tried to save him in various ways, but he failed. Seeing his wife dying step by step, he finally had to leave in pain. He was very painful, but this is the price that all extreme sports must pay!

However, this matter has plagued the Woods for nine years. Asendif's painful cry for help has been whipping their souls like a whip, keeping them awake all night. Finally, the couple, Wood and Kathy, decided to summon up courage to announce this shameful "scandal" to the public, and decided to risk their lives to climb Mount Everest again, trying to find Asendif's body and bury it.

Unexpectedly, when Wood and Kathy announced the secret that had been hidden for nine years to the outside world, they were not condemned by the peace theory, but were respected and understood by everyone.

I can't help thinking that salvation comes not only from the body, but also from the soul. Wood and Kathy revealed their secrets to the society, which in itself is the redemption of their own souls.

I can't help thinking that the mountaineering manual doesn't require every climber to save people in extreme weather conditions. In that case, protecting yourself is good for everyone. Actually, Wood and Kathy don't have to torture themselves with moral crosses all the time. In fact, they have neither moral obligation nor legal responsibility.

However, Wood and Kathy can't. Although they survived, they will never forget the painful expression on Asendif's face before he died, so they made a painful choice, completed their spiritual salvation with open secrets and self-exposure, and showed us the nobility of their souls.

I can't help thinking that if climbing Mount Everest is the height of conquering nature, then the spiritual salvation of Wood and Kathy is to transcend a spiritual height. The former transcends nature and others, while the latter transcends self. The physiological limit of self and the height of soul.
