BEING FULLY HUMAN
“The significance of ‘the spirit of adventure’, as we meet with
those who inspire us, is unquestionable. Who do we respect, who
do we admire, who do we hold high? The spirit of adventure is
always present with the visionaries, the determined, the tenacious,
the motivators and the achievers. The spirit of adventure is so
present in a realised human being it is very difficult to see how an
education system for all, in a society which wants itself to evolve,
can ignore or leave to chance, the origins of being fully human. …
As the Campaign for Adventure puts it: ‘Life is best approached
in a spirit of exploration, adventure and enterprise. Chance,
unforeseen circumstances and uncertainty are inescapable features
of life and absolute safety is unachievable.’ … Whatever happens
between my writing this and your reading it lies in that
glimmering, frightening, stimulating realm known as uncertainty.
It is no bad place to live.”
