How would you like to be the person who goes through life explaining his dad died when he smacked into the ground from a short cord and grew up without him? I’d feel just about resentful.
I do not live my life in fear. I DO consider the risk/reward formula (it’s actually part of my job) and proceed accordingly.
So far, so good.
I don’t live my life in fear either. Believe it or not.
Some things are just stupid and irresponsible, at least leaving many people to grieve and have to adjust their lives to make up for the unjustifiable loss.
I’d rather lose my life in honor fighting a crook than doing something for fun.
