I feel frustrated, but not confused. I believe it is human nature to show 
concern for those of us who chose to ignore or are unaware of dangerous 
situations. Why else do we have rescue squads for mountain climbers and other 
adventurers who perform foolish stunts. Some of us have been involved in 
daredevil activities and have survived only because of this caring trait 
which we share. If we survive, hopefully we can go on to educate, or in the 
worst case rescue others.
