Nothing safe

More risk, more reward, more wanderings and bold attempts far from any path known or heard of, more rejection of tamed humanity in favor of unhesitating animal nature, wild and beastly instead of falsely restrained in polite obedience, deference, and convention.

Prolonged discomfort and instability as a sinister joy. We are unhurt and unbothered by the moment, even prolonged distress, because we know our fate awaits and we go off to meet it.

Greater threat of destruction willfully undertaken, greater chance of utter ruin to begin from nothing once again. We make ourselves ready and vault into the unknown, uncertain, and unmeasurable, where there is also greater opportunity and options, wider possibilities, more truth, and better company than the timid souls who desire safety more than life.

Essential question to make or break a spirit: do we trust in ourselves when we have only ourselves? Those who affirm this can do no different and therefore create an unbridgeable distance from those who do not create their own destinies.
