Think Like A Mountain

I felt that this essay had an amazing way of presenting the point that it was getting across. I was confused by the concept of it so I had to read it a couple times to truly understand what they meant by "thinking like a mountain". The beginning of this writing is a creative way of saying how the call of a wolf comes off in a different perspective to all different kinds of people but the mountain is the one who truly sees it how it is. The call of a wolf appeals to dear, to hunters, to cowmen and more all with the  mind set of their own benefit and not how the wolf is benefitting them. This made me feel like my eyes were being opened to a more broad mindset about things. It was presenting me with a new way of thinking "like a mountain" that could be applied to more situations than just this one. As stated above, I was confused by what I was feeling about this article but the more that I read and understood it I would say that the essay just went along with my feelings. The reading did not make me  uncomfortable but it did make me uncomfortable to know that other individuals are blinded by their own needs and important topics they won't take the time to understand.
I really enjoyed the concept of "thinking like a mountain" and it truly makes sense to me. If you think about a topic that has nothing to do with you or give you and personal gain you are going to think of what you think is the most rational in the long run as well as the time being. Although, when dealing with something that could give you personal gain at the time, you aren't going to be thinking about what ways if could change you and others in 10 years from that moment.
When thinking about where I live I would think that the concepts listed in this essay should apply. In my personal opinion it is better to lose out on what you may be desiring for a short time than to have it be permanent in the long run.
