Not if everyone has to work to survive - they'll all have similar types of "Life and death" experiences. Not to mention the psychological trauma that comes with those types of experiences, people who think "that which does not kill me only makes me stronger" have never suffered a heart attack.
It's this weird henry Thoreau transcendental nonsense from people who have never actually had to rough it.
- _-david-_ 4y agoI am not suggesting that everybody should have to work every day to survive. I don't think that would be good. I am also not suggesting that having life and death situations are good. If that is what you thought I was saying then you are reading into my post more than you should. All I am saying is that people who just stare at a screen all day, do not make for interesting stories. People whose situation could easily lead to their death have far more interesting stories. I don't want to live like the man in the video, but his story was absolutely engrossing. How many books have you read where the main character sleeps, eats, goes to the bathroom, stares at a screen and nothing else? Compare that with stories where people get out, risk life and limb to accomplish something.
