Antoine de Saint-Exupéry sets an example for men still looking for adventure in the world.
Among my guy friends, we joke that a man’s “biological clock” has to do with getting killed in action or dying in adventure. “So-and-so’s biological clock is ticking; he’s just got to die soon—somewhere in Africa.” Only a hundred years ago, there was still room for explorers to push the boundaries of the uncharted: the untamed sky, land, and sea. Today, the GPS robs us of so much fun. The unknown is at an all-time level of scarcity. Safety, better equipment, and the fact that everything has already been done makes adventuring rather hard.Related posts
