Holding the Rope Alone

Is there anyone who can truly listen to my story and help me keep going?

My family, my colleagues, my friends… in the end, it feels like there is no one.

Maybe this is the loneliness people feel at the top. I am not at the top in status or achievement. I feel more like I am standing alone on the peak of a smaller mountain beside it.

I throw a rope toward the higher mountain and tie it there. Then I hold on and move forward by myself. When I look down, there is only a deep cliff. No one can reach me. No one can help.

Then this is rather the loneliness of moving forward while holding on to a single rope.
