After last weeks entry we pick up this week with some of the spirit that started it all off.
To me at least a part of the problem around accepting that boys are always looking for a challenge, keen on adventures really revolves around attitudes towards exploring things you've never done before and to risk.
Some people look at the world with all the things they're so unfamiliar with and see everything that could go wrong with a thousand item long "what if..." list that they become and feel intimidated to try.
Certainly I can recall the horror whenever I tried something no one expected me to be able to do and always fearing the worst seemed to be on a mission to wrap me up in cotton wool as a disabled child and yet I had the same urges as any other boy.
Moreover I felt more alive doing those things .
Others while taking some account of safety and looking at risk would regard managing and overcoming risks pushing yourself as a part your development, learning self reliance and resilence in all manner of situations as not just something you naturally gravitate towards but desirable
That was more me with my folks always been told what I'd been up to and them saying "well I never thought he could do that".
