Life without risk is not life. It's almost a law of physics that anything interesting requires risk - whether it be to limb, financial, social, mental, or whatever else. If you don't put yourself out there in _some_ way, boredom and depression are probably inevitable

Anyone in a position of safety intimately knows this. The retired die early. Trust fund kids spiral into depression if they have nothing to strive for. We all know that boring "job for life" guy who's been doing the same thing inside and outside of work for 20 years.

Damn I miss my bike. See, the risk of dying on a motorbike is quite high. The risk of having it stolen is higher still. ;)
