AN EMAIL TO A FRIEND - on conquering Mother Nature

TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING SOME PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO CALL CONQUERING

The rich mountaineer no longer needs to go camping with the only lowly poor old camper he ever knows. He has retired to one of his warm comfy sweet global homes in the Island of Formosa for the time being. In this big island camping in the wilderness could be a bit more risky than in the SAR of Hong Kong. He is now also free from uttering words of nonsense or BS if you like every now and then about cultures, religions, politics, literature, arts, science, philosophy, etc., as he no longer needs to kill time when cooking canned food in the wilderness, which in the viewpoint of the body, could be more harmful than junk food served in the fast-food restaurants.

This lowly poor old camper literally has never thought of conquering 3.5-billion-year-old Mother Nature who comes in all unconquerable forms. He even doesn't have the psychology of that kind of male rivalry, which extends to make up the mental state of a conqueror that his rich friend has always shown and enjoyed.
When this lowly old camper's rich friend admits surrendering, he actually surrenders to his own male instincts that he himself knows not much about their presence in his reptilian brain, or more accurately, in his genes. Mother Nature knows nothing, and cares not a bit, about all kinds of surrenders.

This little poor old poem-writing camper treks humbly in the wilderness, with a kind of tender love as if he is dealing with a lovely nice lady. He never presents Her with a challenge, nor does he take one from Her, not to mention those from other individuals of the species of Homo sapiens sapiens with the pair of chromosomes dubbed XY.
When his rich friend shows his weakness, instead of the contrary anticipated, trying to conquer something which is unconquerable, or something in which the verb conquer has no place and no meaning at all, this little lowly old camper would not do a thing to tickle his rich friend's delicate self-respect, as he knows his rich friend is a man who would like to endure slight failure at first in order to be intoxicated with huge success later.
