It was a marvelous adventure. My son Steve says cynically that adventure is someone else having a very bad time, a long ways away. But adventure is risk willingly taken. It is what makes life more than an ordeal. Again Mormon theology includes the concept that we can progress eventually to godhood.
Adventure is only another name for that struggle for progress.
We cannot become adults, let alone gods, if we expect to be divinely coddled. Somehow we must learn to accept the consequences of acts that are our choice. Somehow we must learn that we won that war in heaven. Of course the danger itself plays a part in the appeal of some things. There can be quite an adrenalin rush to being scared.
