Thrill seeking

in #life6 years ago
Thrill-seeking is the urge embedded in us to actively go seeking excitement that usually involves risk and danger. Some examples are parkour, skating and hanging on vehicles, skydiving etc. But is thrill-seeking really what the risk?

The first time experience for thrill-seekers usually involves fear but later after a successful try, it leaves the person craving for more excitement.

Thrill-seeking sometimes is caused by the kinds of friends we move around with. When friends do dangerous tricks on skateboards such as hanging on moving vehicles, they will then encourage you to also give it a try by saying "you can do it".

Thrill-seeking once addicted will continue to be a vicious cycle of experience until one gets badly hurt. Also, the Internet and most especially the social media has contributed immensely towards promoting Thrill-seeking.

Take for example the most common which is parkour, parkour is the act of jumping, climbing, swinging from one point to another without the aid of an assistive equipment. This may look so simple when viewed in videos making thrill-seekers out there to give it a try without them considering the dangers involved.

Thrill-seeking doesn't worth the risk because it involves dangers, risking our lives. Many thrill-seekers when asked after been hurt, are always filled with regrets. We should learn to appreciate our life and avoid moving with friends that will want to encourage into taking unnecessary risk.
