Jesus, we could all hope to be so humble. Apologizing for getting lost in a blizzard, nearly dying, and losing your feet?



Maybe he was apologizing because he was trying to end his life...I don't know, but I wish him the best. It sounds as if he was struggling with the loss of his teammate and perhaps other things.[/quote]

If you knew anyone from Kenya you would understand their mentality is very different from ours. He simply meant he was regretful for all the attention he has brought to himself. Kenyans are ingrained to be servants rather than served. I don't write that in a derogatory way, but, rather, to say, he never wanted all this and feels bad for having caused the things he did. I suspect he was bummed and wanted to go outside and walk around (something very normal in Kenya) to deal with what was going on and got turned around. The rest, we all know about.
