Reflection on Naturalism

Surprisingly I have experienced a moment in my life when nature affected the outcome of an event and I found myself "de-evolving." Alright, so two summers ago I went to my home-land, Korea. In Korea people climb mountains for "fun." It was like playing a sport. (I'm talking about hard-core mountain climbing.) Ofcourse, visiting my relatives the first thing that the relatives suggest us (my brother and I) to do is go mountain climbing. Atfirst I am excited and interested, thinking, this will be a great new experience full of adventure and fun. I believe we ended up choosing to climb the second tallest mountain in Korea. I'm not too sure though. ANYWAYS. The first day of this mountain-climbing "expedition" it begins to drizzle and later it turned into hard, cold rain. Not only did the rain affect this experience but the mountain itself was extremely steep. The rocks were close to 90 degrees in steepness. I had a poncho (climbing in style...you know how I do) and basically used every muscle to lift myself up to the next rock. The rain made the rocks slippery and also effected my vision. I was in a cold, miserable, "WHY DID I AGREE TO DO THIS" state. My relatives and brothers were ahead of me. (Not too far, for I still could spot them out...we had distinguishing poncho colors...my idea...just kidding)
The "de-evolving" I let myself get into was through a conflict agaisnt nature. The weather did not get better at all. The rain just would not stop! I know this was suppose to be a "family fun" thing, so I did not want to show my annoyance and anger towards my relatives. So it became a "man vs. nature" conflict. I would say this experience was a "fight for survival" only at a much lower, less extreme scale. I just wanted to make it to the top of the mountain alive and well. It took us three days. But during those three days I struggled constantly physically. I became meaner. I also did not care about my appearance. (My hair was an utter mess and my clothes were filthy) I did not share my food with others. I had a nasty attitude towards everything. I felt like I became less "humane" and "civilized" in the mountain.
Finally, we made it to the top of mountain. Twas beautiful. Probably the most physically draining thing I have ever done. I was weak and tired and cold BUT satisfied and proud. Very proud and happy.
