>>I think someone like her, who feels no fear at all, would be BORED by jumping out of a plane or taking a corner at 120 mph.<<
I think she would never know the satisfaction of conquering a fear either. To me, that’s an important part of life.

I always thought daredevels were missing something. Fear is a basic, useful instinct. In small doses of course. Take the natural fear of falling, it keeps you from getting too close to the edge of the cliff. Fear is a useful servant but a terrible master.

Damn it Wayne! That was years ago! Just let it go!
We went out for pizza afterwards and everyone agreed it was a bit of a lark and we all had a fine time at it!

Yep.
I’m 40. I’ve lost both of my parents.
I’ve experienced life in other nations. I have experienced the willy-nillyness of people.
I’m not scared of anything. That’s not to say I take stupid risks that would put OTHERS in jeopardy.
But I have no fear.
I really have no fear.
