People are always searching for stimulation in life: whether it is love, sex, friends, food, movies, travel or sports ? everything we do is for the purpose of feeling stimulated.
Even working at a dead end job is something we do for stimulation, not necessarily for the actual job, but for the pay check we get at the end of each month.
Some people would do anything for money, just like some would do anything for love.
One of my favorite artists Katie Melua once said that the only reason she did not go down the same road as similar artists like Amy Winehouse who took so many drugs that it eventually killed her, was because she turned towards extreme sports instead.
Sport gives us that adrenaline kick, that excitement, that feeling of being alive.
Skiing does just that for so many people, I read an interview in a ski magazine about a professional skier who talked about why he became such a good skier when he was not even brought up close to a ski field.
He told the ski magazine that the feeling he had when he was on the skis was addictive, skiing off piste and doing tricks made him feel alive for the simple reason that he was often close to death.
Sometimes we human beings love being close to death, playing with death ? for some of us it is the only way to appreciate life.
And in the end, I would rather people did extreme sports than taking drugs, one makes you push the boundaries of what is possible, inspire others to improve and outdo themselves ? the other makes you numb to any emotions.
I get the biggest kick out of traveling, I feel alive because I open my eyes and ears to take in new impressions.
When I do not travel, I tend to forget and stop appreciating my surroundings.
