... I wonder... Considering this life that we have and that isn't always supposed to be easy ... are we to live it in the simplest comfort, reading or writing books about dangerous adventure that will keep our names and stories alive after we are gone? Or are we to risk things, experience things, making our lives even more difficult so that we don't feel like we've wasted the opportunity to sample everything this one chance we had? Which would leave us no time to write and we will not be remembered and would probably make us miserable most of the time, wishing our lives were mundane? ...

Fuck it. I'll try both and tell you how it ends.
