Do you consider yourself to be adventurous? 9/17/2004
Adventurous – how is that meant, little bird?

The sparrow replies: ad·ven·tur·ous
inclined to adventure, to undertake new and daring enterprise which are hazardous or risky
willing to undertake or seeking out new and daring enterprises


There is quite a large gap between inclined and willing, little bird.

Well, I will have to say no, then. Not inclined, though willing. I did not seek risk or relief from boredom; glory or thrills.

My life was a series of unavoidable adventures, if you like, for I did not turn them down. But meeting your life head on does not seem adventurous to me. More stubborn than anything else; too stubborn to give up.

It is my life that was adventurous, little bird, not me. I am a simple man who wanted to be happy.

One may not be inclined toward adventure, but a willingness to meet it suggests one will not turn from duty. Can one's duty make one adventurous, even if one might wish it otherwise?
