We idolize things that mean nothing in the grand scheme of our lives with friends, family and nature and sports is just one of many examples.
Exactly, I would like to think everyone comes to this realization especially those with other interest in life, however about 1/2 the sports forum consider adventure to be a passive activity rather than active.

“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us...”
― Henry David Thoreau
