What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
I cannot imagine skydiving. I’d only put on a parachute and jump out of a plane if the aircraft were on fire or if someone much larger than me were advancing on me with a knife.
Back in the 1990s one of my relatives, in late middle age, began ticking off his bucket list. He was telling some of his cronies at a diner how he wanted to try jumping out of a plane with a parachute, “just once, just to see what it’s like.”
“I can tell you that,” an older guy, a veteran of WW II said. ”It was dark. I was cold. I was scared. People were shooting at me. I didn’t like it.”
