On visiting Besseggen in the Norwegian mountains: Perceiving what you want of Norwegian nature!
Besseggen is one of Norway's most popular mountain classics. Some would argue that it is a must-do hike for all Norwegians. An estimated 60 000 people walk the Besseggen ridge every year. And this is a popular tour, and you get the free availability with consuming Norwegian nature.
No one should interfere in your life of public organizations, and every stupid human coming to you nnd me with no availability should be taken away to the court or other places. And everything going on in different societies should be in accordance with national laws and rules, and in accordance to the human rights in Strasbourg, Paris and New York. And do not smaile at something there, but consider your own body as a holy body given from God in human nature in nature.
