I know I'll never be able to put myself into extreme sports because I don't have that kind of perseverance and the courage to face loneliness. It's not that I'm not confident enough, but I'm more willing to be honest with myself at the moment.
For someone like me who has never been exposed to extreme sports, I have no reason to judge their actions. Not even qualified to judge their character. Because, in a sense, these people have gone beyond the category of ordinary people. Exploring nature and challenging myself are fully reflected in them. I don’t want to use words like worship, which is irrational, but there is at least one word to describe my mood, which is respect.
There are many people who say that people who engage in extreme sports regard life as a child's play and are not responsible enough. In fact, I want to say that this is a precious quality that we ordinary people lack. Life is only one time for a person, how to be more valuable belongs to the category of philosophy, but specific to a certain person, isn't the ultimate meaning of constantly challenging oneself?
Looking around, many young people around me are wasting their lives on meaningless things - games, socializing, circle of friends. They think that their lives are fixed and that everything should be as muddled as they have, or to use another word more acceptable to them - flat. I don't know if it's their lack of fighting spirit or the so-called life that wears down their fighting spirit. But no matter what, such a life always lacks sunshine and vitality.
There are many meanings in life, but I know that one thing is definitely not in this category - and that is wasting life.
