People who look for excitement and

danger are foolish Do you agree?

The answer to the proposition can be a big “No” though

there may be quite a few who take the opposite view, still

the truth will prevail Man hungers for adventure for it

brings him the excitement and the resulting satisfaction

Excitement and anticipation make life worthwhile If

everything is as dust or as free as air there can’t be any

excitement and life would have no meaning and man can

at best be a cabbage going through a vegetative growth

It may be enough for the purpose of this essay to confine

to adventurous acts though there are others which may be

equally exciting

Why does any person go through the hazards of an

adventure? It is because of their psychological needs We

see it in children They explore and get into difficult places

because they like excitement This sort of thing is quite

common among school children Their mischief and frolic

have got them into trouble The youth does dangerous

things because they have the elements of adventure in

them While there is attendant self satisfaction, it also

ensures public recognition One climbs mountains where

others have never gone; one jumps long distances for the

sake of recognition To get the excitement of standing on

the victory stand and getting the applause of the crowd

one goes through months and months of hard training

What an excitement we get seeing the star artist in the

circus on the trapeze! Crossing the Channel or climbing

Mount Everest has its own excitement Climbing Everest

and crossing the Channel have been done by successive

generations of adventurers Nobody now looks upon these

as a challenge; so too with space The news that man had

landed on the moon was exciting in those days but now it

is taken for grated

Man’s desire to try the impossible challenge and win is at

the bottom of so many success stories If these

adventurers had not taken the challenge there would not

have been any human progress, whether it is in the field of

sports, science or medicine It is not foolish or childish to

look for adventures Then only can one cross the

uncharted seas and happy as Ulysses Only the weakling

will look upon anything calling for excitement and danger,

as foolish
