Fearless vs. Reckless

Something has changed in me over this last year, instead of becoming more fearful, like most people who live here. I have become even more fearless. It amazes me how many people have the strength to move here to A-land then live in constant fear. In the capital people are afraid to leave there home, they are afraid of about everything. But I have found that this country has done just the opposite to me. I feel like nothing can hurt me and I am not afraid of going anywhere or doing anything. Actually I think that this influence comes from the local people. I have never been around a people so bold. They do not fear death, they do not fear war, and they fear absolutely nothing. These very people defeated the Soviet Union when they tried to occupy A-land. They were able to do this because they did not fear the super power. I think that it must be in their blood. The problem is that this blood is now running through my veins. I have tried to become more cautious but it is hard when I do not fear anything. The main problem is that this blood is not so much fearless but rather reckless. If I look back on my life as a little boy maybe I have always been reckless. There is the time that I set my backyard on fire and the time that I jumped out of the tree house when I was 5 years old. Maybe it has taken my whole life to find people more reckless and fearless then me, and now that I know that they exist I am at peace living among them.
