We have a society that's trying to make sure that nobody gets any adventures because adventures are dangerous and danger is bad.
The bulk of my input comes from my peers.
The meetings can be a lot of fun or they can be frustrating.
Your parents were always trying to get you to be careful when you were a kid, and that's all pervasive in this society.
Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't.
What if all tomorrow brings is ashes and glass, and I can't tell you child, 'this too shall pass.' If all the world were windswept, cold and gray. And in the end there's nothing left to say.
