What can you Do?

Basically a person can potentially do whatever they believe that they can do. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It is both just like it always has been.

So, in the end it is about a person's motivation and ethics and whether what a person believes he or she can do is thought of as good or bad or whatever by themselves and all others.

But, in the end, if you believe you can do something there is a high likelihood that you can do that.

But, if it is not in your best interests or the world's best interests then why are you doing that?

For example, I was listening to a friend talk about people they knew recently injured on motorcycles and how one friend just broke their back but wasn't paralyzed and how another was paralyzed from a motorcycle accident.

I said, "Well. Riding a motorcycle at all is a lot about being an adrenaline junky." In other words you like the stimulation of surviving doing something extreme.

Some of you might not see riding a motorcycle as extreme. For example, I don't see riding a motorcycle in the dirt, on dirt roads or on country roads without a lot of cars very dangerous. However, if I'm riding on city streets or on the freeway that is not something I want to be doing because there are just too many variables that could go wrong and also I'm 65 so I like to have a car or truck around me if something goes wrong in traffic on a freeway or in traffic on side streets. Also, if I'm in a car or truck I have a better chance of other people seeing me because most people don't see motorcycles until it is too late. This is just a given. When people don't see the motorcycle because they don't expect them to be there you see things like helmets crashing into the roofs of cars and people dying which I have seen several times in my life. Especially before people wore helmets I saw a lot of dead motorcyclists in Los Angeles County growing up. One scene when I was a boy was particularly sad. It was a girl who had been riding on the back of her boyfriend's motorcycle holding his head as he died as we drove by on the freeway. He was wearing a black leather jacket and was dying as we saw him with his head in her arms crying there.

So, what can you do? Almost anything, but maybe you should give it some thought first if it is potentially dangerous.

For example, I used to be a rock climber before my son was born. But I gave up Rock Climbing when he was born in 1974 and I was 26.  Near death experiences were all the time in my life since birth. So, whether it was rock climbing or girlfriends they all were potentially dangerous in different ways (However, I see girlfriends as the most dangerous of all) because after I got down from rock climbing I didn't feel suicidal for 4 years like I did with at least 1 or 2 girlfriends from age 21 to 25 when I broke up with them.

So, from ages 12 to  30 at least, girlfriends for me I see as the most dangerous of all potentially. And the significant others of all people might agree with me if they have had a bad experience or two also.
