"Because it is there," George Leigh Mallory said to the question why he climbed. We ask such a question to mountaineers, but also to you, and to myself -- but we don't have a clear answer.
Don't assume: Mountaineers won't give you any clear idea. They themselves do not know, for this is why they climb.
Our life is full of those questions: What is the unknown? Why do I not know myself? This is a blog of a journey, journey being with the question: "Why, not only do risk your life, do you do the unknown stuffs?" Anthropology does not try to tell you an answer, for anthropology is not a philosophy; it would only show you the people. It is, also, mine: How do they try to answer those questions?
