This subreddit is getting too jaded to see the point. Yes you might die, but for some people that is how to live life meaningfully and it's not like they or at least the reasonable people doing this don't know it's dangerous and that they will likely live a shorter life, but that is the point of the quote. Instead of living for 80 years unfulfilled, they'd rather live for 30 having a fulfilling experience. Every quote doesn't have to appeal to everyone. Most of the comments in this thread are disappointing.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. You're arguing for everyone to share the same opinion. That, sir, is an echo chamber.
The point of the quote is to do something even with risks, as opposed to doing nothing with no risks. What's the point of life if not to have your point of view being at risk to critique? Under your own frustration you missed the point of the quote as well.

I'm arguing my perspective when seemingly every comment shares the opposite opinion. You telling me I'm perpetuating an echo chamber is kinda ironic when I'm going against the grain don't you think? It's not like I'm demanding people to change their view to mine or for everyone to share the same view as you put it, but how would it make sense to argue if not to attempt to change people's minds or at least pry for answers on the situation? I reserve the right to judge their reasonings and decide for myself if I'm going to change my mind myself or if I should continue to hold my stance. That's all I can control. Where exactly did you figure I was asking people to share the same view?
If you feel like I missed the point when all you did was restate something very similar to what I was saying, I feel like you didn't really read or somehow understand my comment or maybe you are failing at expressing your viewpoint in an understandable way.

To be fair, the jaded come here to get motivated. It's just that most posts here are kinda stupid or falls apart the second you think about it.
