If you ask someone who's climbed a big mountain why they did it they will likely say:
"Because it's there"
This is the mountaineer mentality. They had no good reason to do it, but they did it anyway.

Acceptance of inevitable destruction.
When you know that something is inevitably going to ruin what you have done, but you do it anyway for whatever reason you may have.
Quoted from 2b2t wiki:
The Builder's Dilemma, The Sandcastle Mentality is a philosophical concept that is one of the pillars of the "veteran mentality". It means that a player accepts the destructive nature of 2b2t, and learns to live with it. Its name comes from building sandcastles on beaches: no one builds a sand castle believing or expecting that it will last forever.

Someone with the Luke Danes mentality never gives up on the one they love. Through hardship and pain. No matter how distant they become. They always push forward and continue to strive. They want the other person happy, but are never afraid to showcase their feelings. They are patient people, who care deeply not just for one person, but for every important person in their lives. They get angry, frustrated, and make mistakes. But they always believe in doing right for those that matter. To have a Luke Danes Mentality, one must be true to themselves and to others. A head strong person, who loves deeply. A person who will do anything for people that matter. And never, ever, give up.
