Why Experience Adventure?
I believe we seek adventure in order to feel alive and for the valuable perspective it gives our lives. Pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones allows us to experience the world in a heightened state. In this state, we experience extraordinary exhilaration as we navigate oceans of risk simply striving to persevere. This calm, collectedness in the face of peril is akin to Nirvana, and provides us a blissful release from the dull cycle of our daily lives.
As we face these risks, we are also confronted with the frequent reminder that We Are Mortals. Our flirtation with danger reminds us that life is precious, and it we should do our upmost to fully appreciate it. This fresh perspective enables us to realize what truly matters, and to move forward with a better picture of how to live our lives to their fullest.
Upon returning home, we are granted the opportunity to appreciate things we had previously taken for granted, and to reevaluate 'self-evident truths'. We learn how to see the wonders of running water, the satiating delight of fresh fruit, and the remarkable comforts that come with being inside. Our experience invigorates our lives with a new sense of strength and purpose that enable us to move forward as better individuals.

In short, our lives are better because of, during, and after adventure.
