For, I cannot be the only one being delighted over the prospect of being in a situation fraught with grave risk.

Clans have lived the high risk vs High Reward lifestyle and successfully thrived but they had a certain mindset and certain qualities which are probably rare in this Era.

They too did calculate their high risks before making big decisions.

High Uncalculated Risk for Abstruse Reward is deadly combo of valor and stupidity!

Peace!
