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.
Some people find it as addictive as heroin.
I was rarely scared flying Cessnas in flight training. They are safe and forgiving. They land and take off at fifty miles an hour, and they have a stall warning horn that sounds if you let the airspeed get too low, and they are very stable. A slight twitch of the wrist on the stick could make the plane jump like a porpoise. And it landed at ninety miles an hour.
