help?

RE: help?



We all are at risk of losing our lives, always. The soul who never risks as much as a writer in Brazil. The writer in Brazil will have the excitement, the growth, and the stories that come with that path[1]. The other stagnation.



The only sense I would urge caution in is that you may be exposing others to stress and suffering. If you are unmarried and childless, this equation is easier.


[1] I have lived with serious mental illness and lost 9 fingers in a suicide attempt 4 years ago, so I think I am equipped to speak to the question of the growth potential in adversity and risk. For a more scientific take, John Haidt examines the psychological research pertaining to the adage that adversity makes us stronger in the book The Happiness Hypothesis (IIRC, his conclusion is that it is most beneficial in the teens to twenties, and for some but not all people; more than that I'd have to check my notes).
