Free Spirit

There have been a couple of items in the news recently showing young men skating down the main highway on a skate board and another leaping from the top of a bridge into a river. Both these storeys have attracted a large amount of criticisime.

Instead of criticising these young men we should recognise their talent and bravery. After all, there are plenty of people who would have said that Sir Edmond Hillery was foolhardy in trying to climb Everest and yet now he is a national hero , the same goes for any number  sportspeople and entrepreneurs who have gone out to try something new.

Imagine how dull and boring any sport would be if these people didn’t try things or if businesses didn’t take some risk, It would result in no progress , no innovation and most of all no fun.

The people who complain about young people going out of their comfort zone and taking a risk seem to resent them for doing what they themselves wish they had the courage to do.

Long live the human spirit for adventure and shame on all the old farts who try to stop it
