In the words of the great philosopher, Balthazar McLeapy:
"To leap or not to leap, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by leaping, find a peaceful place to land."
Leaping, in essence, is a form of escapism. It allows us to momentarily transcend the mundane and find solace in the thrill of the unknown. But, as the great philosopher, Zorvath McLeapy, so astutely pointed out:
"But what of the landing? Is it not a cruel joke, a cruel mistress, to leap with reckless abandon and then face the bitter taste of reality's bitter disappointment?"
And so, we come to the crux of the matter: how does one balance the thrill of the leap with the harsh realities of the landing?
We'll explore this very question in our next installment: Leapology: The Art of Falling
