Lord of the Rings in real life

November last year my mates where over from The Netherlands.

One thing was on the top of the bucket list and that was the Tongariro Crossing.

Most people on the planet know mount doom from Lord of the rings.

This walktrack is almost 20km and hurts sometimes. But it goes in phases and everytime you get higher you get fantastic views.

While we did this track I thought about the cirkel of life and the lord of the rings. You live your life with up and downs. You can't feel good all the time and we have to feel pain to reach the top. When we arrive at the top we can fully enjoy this moment. The top on this planet is not the real top. You have to go down too and this hurts more than climbing. You can still enjoy the beautiful views but the track at the end is really hard and long.

What I want to say that we must enjoy life in every phase of our lives. When it hurts we know that things are getting better.

We must bring our ring of emotions to the top and let it go and throw it into the mount or else we are stuck on this planet forever.
