I really wish people would listen to the man's message instead of constantly asking him about that Damn rock. He's past that shit now his story is used as a catalyst for a bigger message he's trying to spread.
Yeah but you’ve studied his story and you’ve progressed in knowledge .. but for someone encountering him for the first time how are they possible to know the advanced stages of his story.
@@XxxX-wx3er I suppose I'm just more aware of the passage of time. That was a long time ago. If I were to give another example its kind of like there was a bloke who earned a large amount of medals in WW1, he was a writer, a poet and an artist, traveled the world and did amazing things...he also happened to be a survivor of the sinking of the RMS Titanic back in 1912. He's done so many things in his life, so many awe inspiring and amazing things, but guess what's the only thing people want to interview him about? "So did you actually see the iceburg and was it cold outside?" Like he's done so many things, and the only thing you want to ask this man about is some ship he was on that sunk like 40 years ago by the time of his prime? So much like Aron here, he's stuck telling that same story over and over again and I'd imagine it's nerve wrecking after a while. Fuck Titanic for a second, maybe I want you to ask me about my poetry yaknow?
the rock is the message he was beaten and doomed by a random freak accident and he overcame it with the will to live. and not get beaten by the rock that pinned him to his grave
Several thoughts on maybe the greatest survival story or really any story of all time. 1. For a person to cut off their own hand, without the right tools or experience, is the greatest example of wishing to live rather than die ever recorded. 2. For Ralston it was wishing to live for his current and future family. This purpose to live was very well described in Viktor Frankl book Man's Search for Meaning. 3. Ralston story should be mandatory reading in High School. Is there a book beside the Bible more important?
thank you for this interview! Aaron ralston is my hero and a magnificient inspiration for people
I'm surprised at how humble he is after all he went thru. He talked about saving the environment and these natural places. Love his courage.
What an incredible man. Wow. Blows my mind.
If there is one person I wish I could run into on the trail it would be Aron Ralston.
Aron is a great human being. Very humble.

the rock will always be the most entertaining subject though

He is also a great person, congrats
