- 'Mountain Syndrome

I'd like to coin another term to explain the eternal feeling of unfulfillment suffered by many outgoing men.

This perpetual sense of longing is a the result of having but one lifetime, whilst cursed with the need for achievement of the kind that will either not exist, or be humanly unreachable.

'Mountain Syndrome', is the feeling of a mountaineer desperately missing his wife and home when upon the mountain, but unable to live without the mountain when among home comforts.

Comfort and greatness are so mutually unexclusive, no great man who admires either will ever know true contentment.

By the time people realise that "progress" has become a dirty word, there'll be nothing left to preserve.

If we live in a state of perpetual ugliness and misery, then we've not "progressed" by so much as an inch. In fact, I'd say we've taken one too many steps backwards. 🏛

Any moral council with cultural appreciation would have laughed this monster out the door. #Hampstead, like much of #England, simply requires preservation, not deliberate architectural vandalism.

This stunning pub has existed since 1663 and was named after Highgate/Hampsteads (mineral water) Wells. Beauties such as this are worth a billion tacky bars.
