So, what does this have to do with the whole life and philosophical theme of my blog? Humans still exist in this world because we have evolved... part of which is knowing how to keep your ass alive. The brain now has inhibitors, and they (usually) act as anti-crazy gates and stop you from doing something ridiculously stupid like... well, jumping off a cliff :)
Cliff diving teaches you to turn off those inhibitors for that one crazy minute... to "take the jump". In life, there are a lot of situations in which you need to stop being careful and just take the jump. This works in countless situations... from changing your job to making a risky investment to moving to another country... even dumping your nagging girlfriend.
A human is the sum of all the experiences he/she has had. "Taking the jump" lets you have a greater diversity of experiences in life... giving you more fulfilment and making you a stronger, more complete human being.
"I refuse to tiptoe through life, just to arrive safely at death"
