I repeat : where, exactly would the F-U-N be in that?
Are you seriously saying you would welcome such an experience? |
Yes, I would welcome it. A person doesn't know how they'll react to a difficult situation until they experience it, and as such, even a lethal and/or torturous experience is an educational one. It is, at the utmost least, a process of self-discovery. Is there something about yourself that you're afraid to find out about?
It's not post-match; it's immediate. You should always be taking in the information that you have at hand to understand the situation influencing you, and thus attempt to make sense of what is happening to you, and from that knowledge create choices on what you will do next.
I'm going to New York this summer. My parents have been telling me to be careful since they found out. That crime is high and tourists are easy targets, etc., the usual. So, perhaps I'll receive this learning experience sooner than I really want it. Okay, I welcome it. If this body survives it, then it has more to do. If it doesn't, then I won't use it anymore; that'll be a different learning experience.
