At that time, we had no kids & no pets, nobody directly dependent on us. That figured in our conversation on the drive to Hilo. Nowdays, we might come to a different conclusion, but I'm glad for the path we chose then.
- bombcar 10mo agoEspecially since that path didn’t collapse ;)
- serf 10mo agoit's all whimsy and adventure -- but the reality is that you're not just risking your own lives but also the lives of potential rescuers. just food for thought. I'm not about to say one should lead a safe and sterile life, but there is more to it than direct dependents.
- ljlolel 10mo agoThough rescuers did consciously choose that role and that they’d be saving ignorant people very often
- Forgeties79 10mo agoDoesn’t mean you need to add more opportunities for people to get hurt or killed when you know better.

- Vinnl 10mo agoI wonder if, if you'd talk to a rescuer, they'd agree...
- parineum 10mo agoRescuers choose their jobs too.
- mrwrong 10mo agodoctors choose their jobs too and they generally encourage people to stay out of the ER
- parineum 10mo agoThat's completely irrelevant. Rescuers can encourage people to be safe, that's expected. they chose that job , despite it's dangers, because they care about those people being safe. They know the danger and chose the job. That's the relevant bit.
- jama211 10mo agoI think you missed their point - just because you choose a job doesn’t mean people shouldn’t try to avoid needing to be rescued in the first place
