a Wise Advice

a Wise Advice
by Jon Krakauer
So many people live within unhappy circumstances
and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation
because they are conditioned to a life of security,
conformity, and conservation, all of which
may appear to give one peace of mind,
but in reality nothing is more damaging
to the adventurous spirit within a man
than a secure future.
The very basic core of a man’s living spirit
is his passion for adventure.
The joy of life comes from our encounters
with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy
than to have an endlessly changing horizon,
for each day to have a new and different sun.
If you want to get more out of life,
lose your inclination for monotonous security
and adopt a helter-skelter style of life
that will at first appear to you to be crazy.
But once you become accustomed to such a life
you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.
