I think there's a group mentality thing that goes on, a kind of artificial high, and people do it because everybody else is. A friend who did an earlier course told me later that she wished she hadn't done it, and admired that I said No. That made me feel a bit better. And from a distance, without the Rah Rah, most people would sensibly say No way.

Yeah, I can understand that buzz. Sometimes it is braver to say no!

Much as I would like to claim bravery, it was some combination of my reasoning brain going "no, really, this is not a goer" and my reptile brain backing off in abject terror!
