I’ve discovered there’s a balance between playing it too safe and being reckless—a sweet spot where you can embrace adventure while still exercising good judgment and responsibility. This book also taught me about the consequences of our actions as humans. Sam suffered a great deal, both physically and emotionally, because of being a US Marine fighting the war in Vietnam.
