Those are the closing words of some AT graffiti I saw the other day. It was On the wall of a laundry room used overwhelmingly by AT hikers.
The whole quote was longer. It was intended to be inspirational. You know, "we all have bad days" don't get down etc.
And it concluded "Remember, we are something to be revered." It was signed " Twigs '15"
anyone have thoughts on this delightful, inspiring piece of graffiti? I have many, but sadly now is not the time, which is probably for the best. But I'm curious what others think. Especially those who might agree with and attempt to defend the sentiment.
Think about those words. The exact choice of words. They have stuck with me for days as I've hiked. I think they're utterly repugnant.
I finally understand why a few people around here openly express why they want nothing to do with present day thru hikers. I'm not sure I do anymore either.
That sentence, to me, comes right out and boldly proclaims something about thru hikers mentality oft discussed here and denied to exist by many defenders.
