After reading this article, it gives me new perspective on the humans will to live and also how the love for friends and family can push one to survive at all cost.
Tom Murphy was a madman to ignore warnings and let the adrenaline get the better of him. Before he knew it, he was already on trouble. Despite the avalanche, Tom manage to make the best of his surroudings and weigh the risk off dying or surviving when he descended down the mountain. He manage to keep calm and push himself forward knowing that he might not survive. This stunning feat might be something I am unable to do even if I was to be stuck in a mountain somewhere. I feel that one of the reasons for his survival is because he could keep a level-head and use oppurtunities to ensure his safety. Another thing that Tom did that shocked me was his
perserverance to get help. He went from cliff to cliff eventhough he was full of injuries and tired from going down the mountain. Even with his numb and broken legs, he was able to presevere for the sake of his family and friends. In the end, with his level headed,persevering body and also with a bit of luck he was able to seek help and get himself rescued.
I find the parts where he typed those messages to his loved ones very touching and showed me how much he loved them when he was on the verge of dying. Also when he descended down the mountain, it was thrilling but yet scary at the same time.
I find that this article can teach all of us many lessons. The first one has to be about warnings. They are there for a reason, to warn us of dangers. Secondly, is to persevere no matter what obstacles you would be facing. Like the saying goes, its better to die trying rather then give up. Lastly and most importantly, never to take your love ones for granted and treasure them dearly.
