PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS
If you’re like me you enjoy living on the edge but how sharp is your knife? I have gone on every type of roller coaster, driven my car a bit too fast, gone bungee jumping and even ridden on top of a car (stupid youth) but there are limits and those limits seem to expand as we get older and maybe wiser. Is it because we become more aware that we aren’t immortal as we age or is that fear as a whole stops us from living our life to the fullest? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I for one have cut out many of the activities listed not out of fear but knowing that my stomach isn’t up for the ride but continue to seek thrills. Whether it be taking risks in various business opportunities or finding a partner to go sky diving with, life is about living. This doesn’t mean that I’m going to climb Mt Everest (the flight is way too expensive) and I hate spending days and days climbing a rock. Here is where I draw my line (see below).
Where is your line drawn?
(1) Do I have any talents or skills to actually perform the thrill?
(2) Is there any chance that my thrill seeking activity might hurt innocent spectators?
(3) Is the activity I’m seeking illegal and harmful to society as a whole?
(4) How likely is it that this activity can create an addiction for me at the loss of more important activities in my life?
(5) Will this activity create a financial burden for me and my family?
