Read “Buried in the Sky” and/or “Into Thin Air” if you feel tempted to do something similar.

Not that it’s any of your business, but see his reply. It is candid and revealing.

I’m not. Walking down to get the mail is exercise for me.

IMHO both Tolstoy and Nietzsche both had a good analysis ( if such an understanding is possible) of “male courage”. Tolstoy is much more entertaining, nuanced and a pleasurable read. Nietzsche is far more difficult. Tolstoy would argue that courage ( the willingness to personally sacrifice for others or a cause) is a trait that emanates from God’s creation. Nietzsche argued that courage as well as cowardness results because each behavior is gratifying at the time to the individual. Bottom line is that very few of us have been in a position to see just how we as individuals would behave in such a situation. That is why men have always admired and honored other men who behaved honorably in combat or confrontation.

I dated a woman who wanted me to go hike up Mt. Saint Helens. I am an avid outdoorsman and said, “Nah” About a week after she did the hike, solo, it had a mini eruption.

It would be easier if you would just post what you think of personal courage and daring in regards to this thread subject.

I guess you aren’t a fan of it.

Thanks, but mountain climbing an active Volcano is not what I’d do. Racing boats and cars are my rush in life...
