Because I could.

A man was once asked why he climbed the highest mountain in the world, Everest. His answer has proven to be one of the simplest and yet profound I know; because it's there.

Why do we do the things we do? It is our nature to do things that defy all conscious decision and logical reasoning. No one has yet been able to completely explain the why, but certainly many theories exist.

Emotion is perhaps one of the strongest motivators of human behavior. A simple example being the extreme lengths people will go to save a child from danger, even those that are not related to them. Love can make people do strange things and act irrationally. I know, Ive done some weird things myself for someone I truly care about.

Life is too short to spend the time pondering the reasons why we do the things we do. It is better to spent the time enjoying life, rather than analyse ever last detail. I leave such thinking to persons more intelligent and academic than myself.

Live life to the full and without regrets.

Alex.
