It is this about you that interest me. If I HAD to do this... I'm ready. The life I have lead has given me better than average skills and knowledge to stand a "fighting"'chance. Anything can happen in battle though... Anything. You can never prepare for everything.
I hope in never see that beast in his AO. But I do love the surf;-)
There's something so appealing about throwing myself into a fight I know I won't win. The only time you'll ever be able to give something your all is when you risk losing everything. At that one minute mark I'm not sure if I would've swam away.
If it's not clear why I'd look forward to something like that, it's because I value my potential over everything. For a good part of my life I've sought where my potential really lies, religiously. It's a drive that compels me daily to exceed limits in everything I value. As edgy as it sounds it's worth me dying to see what my full capabilities are and honestly it's my only purpose I see in my life.
"No, you step up, nigga."
I've already climbed the fucking staircase.
"You're the one talking about hurling yourself in front of a live shark"
Never said I would, but going into challenges where the odds are the same as fighting a shark are something Im attracted to. The shark fight itself wouldn't do that much for me, can't show very much of your capability throwing punches underwater. An instance where I can apply my skills like a war is ideal.
But while we're on the topic of sharks
It won't be your full capabilities because of you cutting your life short before you could become better than you already are. Death Seekers are really people who idolize suicide by proxy, unlike how they are glamorized in the media.
same.
I always think about entering into a great battle with someone better than me, fighting furiously and then being totally defeated. I don't know why but the prospect of this seems really.. appealing. As you say.
Not in the same way or for the same reasons as you, of course, but close enough.
