I recently went to an amusement park with some long-time friends, something we have done together many times before. A stark difference between this visit and others though was our conscious choice to ride many of the rollercoasters as "single riders," a new concept to help lines at the park move more quickly. How many adventures would I consciously choose to face alone, singly? But what a novel concept?! Had I not chosen to ride many of the coasters individually, I would have increased my wait times considerably and perhaps have missed out on the experience altogether. And wouldn't that have been unfortunate!
By the way, I love the thrill of a good rollercoaster - the anticipation of the twists and turns as you pull up the track, the frantic and sometimes violent jerks and shoves, and the disappointment when the ride is over but at the same time, a feeling of renewed exuberance and vitality for having had the experience. A pretty good simile for life, isn't it?
