[pct-l] PCT and the World

[Deems]

I can justify going for a hike simply because it refreshes my spirit and 
makes me feel alive! It's selfish, and  it's a gift I give myself, often. On 
the trail, I leave the complicated world behind. In time, the world will get 
better, how can it get worse? Life is short, hike long, camp, drink fresh 
waters, marvel at the stars, watch the sun rise and set, and be happy within 
yourself. Your priorities are what you make them, and keep them simple. Why 
wrestle with it, go for a hike..it's the rest of the crazy world that has 
misplaced priorities...

I must admit that with so many  people in the world wanting to kill us, it
makes me feel a little weird hiking  and planning trips.  I feel a little
decadent or may be like I have  misplaced priorities.  But I guess that is 
what the
trail is for.  To  let us get away and refocus our lives and perspectives. 
I
just don't  know.  I am still wrestling with this.
