What is the Point of Climbing a Mountain?
Imagine you are in a building. How many floors do you willingly go up the stairs? In my case, I naturally look for an elevator if I have to go up above 4th floor. However, whenever I go hiking, I can climb up a mountain for more than 5 hours. How is this possible? What are the elements that mountains have but stairs don't?
Assembly of Rewards Found in Mountains
Rewarding Stairs is assembly of elements that mountains have but stairs don't.
Rewards found in mountains are as follows;
The elevator allowed humans to make buildings with more than 100 stories,
but at the same time it made humans more vulnerable to gravity.
When people have to go up more than 5 floors, we would never choose stairs over elevators.
Instead of defying gravity, what if rewards are given to make people walk up the stairs on their own?
If so, will the stairs be something people are willing to climb?
