I wish I was a little bit younger so I could do this.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

When I was young and stupid, I used to run and jump off the roof of my house. It was only one story, but.......

I jumped off the front porch one time and hurt my ankle.

Ahh youth -- the idea they might miss and fall doesn't even cross their minds.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Oh.. there are LOTS of videos of them missing landings, falling, etc..

But they don't think they can get hurt BADLY. They just laugh, get up and go for it again.

I lost my youth (in my 30s) when I was going up on the roof and slipped and broke my leg and wrist.  I knew then the price of chance taking.
