Incredible man with unbreakable belief and infinite guts.
Many peasants see successful explorers returning to town with immense riches and having it good for the rest of their lives, while they themselves wallow in their mundane life of farming.
Many think that there are a lot of potential treasures out there to be uncovered, and think that they will do just as well, if not better than those current explorers.
How many will understand the pain, dangers, fear, in the explorers when they go into unchartered territories?
How many know that with every 1 successful explorer returning, there might be 9 others who have failed or died in their quest?
How many will know what are the permanent injuries that these returning explorers have, and how much have they given up in their pursuit?
Everyone sees the glorious side, but few will ever understand the sacrifices made, and even fewer will really appreciate the work done.
Is there shore on the other end? Am I lost out in the great ocean?
