At This Stage, What Would Be Rewarding

I'm Not Going To Recommend Recklessness But Somewhere Just Short Of It - Testing Yourself And Proactively Pursuing A Rite Of Passage Has Become Necessary Because In Western Developed Countries We've Become Very Comfort-addicted.

The Bottom Line Is, You Love Your Wife, You Do Your Best With That.
