Life is a delicate balance of holding on and letting go
成百上千的人花了很多钱在一次他们知道会有拥挤、不适和危险的经历上。
由于极度寒冷和低气压，许多人会生病，少数人甚至会丧命。
然而，尽管如此，到旅行结束时，许多人已经在计划还要再来。
英国登山家乔治·马洛里这样记述攀登珠穆朗玛峰的经历：“我们从这次冒险中得到的只是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和赚钱。我们吃饭赚钱是为了能够享受生活。那就是生命的意义和生活的目的。”
美国登山家艾伦·阿内特说出了与马洛里所言相似的话。
它(登山)会让你关注对你来说重要的事情上。
有一千个理由让你转身(放弃)，只有一个理由让你继续前进。
它会强迫你去深入地审视自己，去思考自己的身体和心灵是否足够坚强，能在你想放弃的时候推动你继续向前。
最近的研究表明，冒险可能是人性的一部分
他把这些人的性格称为“T型”，其中“T”代表“thrill”。
他们不想死，也没预料到会失去生命。
我们寻求风险的愿望可能与我们期望从结果中获益的程度有关。
