<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I believe that the theme of the story is about how humans make good and bad decisions in life, so with that when you take a journey(especially in a mountainous area) the decisions you make are very important, or even fatal.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It shows how sometimes if you make too many bad decisions one good one will not solve all your problems.
