I find this post fascinating. We are essentially two diametrically opposed people, who agree on the same premise. We both agree that we (humans) are meant to take risks and live exciting lives, but you apparently have the courage to do that, and I do not. I fear injury and death. Nothing sounds more horrible to me than being paralyzed for the majority of my life. When I was growing up a dad from down the street ended up losing his life in a biking accident. He gave up a wonderful family, and a stable quiet life in the suburbs. I think witnessing that really shaped me and caused me to turn away from dangerous sports. Yet, I recognize how deeply I would enjoy flooring it on a freeway onramp, or jumping off a cliff in a squirrel suit. I'm just not willing to risk it all, I guess.
