Like Donini says - Getting to the top is optional, getting down isn’t.

I love this kind of Trash that think knowing what life is really worth is some kind of librul conspiratie against their fragile ignorant manhood.
We are products of our environment, no one is trash . . . even when they trash talk.

I think about it this way.
You have one shot at this. You have an opportunity to do as many cool things as possible so go do them while you can.
Nothing is without due diligence and total concentration. What seemingly looks absolutely dangerous is not in the eye of the person doing it. It is a calculation.
However I find it problematic when another person does not understand the lengths that we go through to be able to experience the things that they cannot envision for themselves.
I guess my original idea for this post was more a rant than anything. Cause I get flack from those close to me. I was born this way. I can't turn it off. I dial it back when its not "right". In no way do I feel immortal or a badass. I'm a middle aged guy trying to do everything I have dreamed of.
Being alive is dangerous.
Cheers!
S...
Gnome I appreciate your post.

Some Buddhists would say that each incarnation is special. The higher the life form one finds him or herself in, the greater the opportunity to realize liberation.
We all seem to be addicted to experience. We seem to be chasing experiences in a large amusement park. The rides make us feel alive.
