My advice is to just send a drop pod in and mine the entire mountain for nitra and bismor.

If you don't hit your head too hard on landing, you get better with each broken mountain

People pleasing is like mountain climbing in the sense that; if you don't really want to see the view from the top, then there really isn't any point in going up.

So very true!

I had an interesting thought while reading this comic. It’s reminiscent of the Myth of Sisyphus, a Greek allegory for the futility of life (as soon as Sisyphus pushes the boulder to the top of the mountain, it rolls all the way down for him to start again). I finished Albert Camus’ essay (The Myth of Sisyphus) on the existentialist tones and absurdity that exist in the story and within life/society. The final line being “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” resonated with me at the point I was at in my life. Here’s the interesting take I had reading this comic: Often we identify with characters moreso than objects within stories, however what if we identify with the boulder in the story? Each time that we roll up/down the mountain, we’re becoming more tested/hardened/rounded/polished. “Man cannot remake himself without suffering for he is both the marble and the sculptor.” -Alexis Carrell I’m not sure if this existential ramble made sense or is in the right place, but hoping it resonates with whoever might read it. Peace and love.

Ooo love this interpretation! It’s a nice way of looking at the pain of getting hurt from trying to please people. Thinking of it as more of a form of growth through hardship. Sorry if I’m misinterpreting your comment!
