"He dos'nt need any money, all he needs is his rucksack with those little plastic bags of dried fruit and a good pair of shoes and off he goes abd enjoys the privilages of a milionaire in surroundings like this."

To everyone else being a millionaire would create the perfect life. In Ray's observation Japhy is living his life to the ultimate fullest. With the happiness that all millionaires are supposed to have. All he needs is a few belongings and himself to make his life enjoyable. It is Japhy's own view on the world that makes his life so enjoyable, an accepting blissful view that makes anything that goes wrong an obsticle, and anything right a blessing. Climbing the mountain is hard and dangerous, but ultimately more enjoyable than the luxeries of a millionaire.

"Oh what a life this is, why fo we habe to be born in the first place, and only so we can have our poor gentle flesh laid out to such horrors as huge mountains and rock and empty space,"

Here he is questioning life's obstacles. What is the point of being born at all to undergo trials like this? Why must we survive to suffer? At this moment everything is an obstacle, with no reward in end. While Japhy jogs up to the top to meet his goal, Ray questions the meaning. Why hurt himself further? Why must humans undure what they do?
