Idiom: Living on the edge
Most of us have unexciting lives. Then some of us live on the edge.
If you live on the edge, your daily activities involve some level of danger, and you probably get a thrill out of it.
You may often seek out life-or-death situations by participating in exciting activities such as skydiving, putting your head in a crocodile’s mouth or driving for a Formula 1 racing team.
Many people participate in extreme sports for the thrill of it.
They enjoy being one step away from serious injury or even death.
They say you never feel truly alive until you know you almost died.
Hey, you know, whatever works for you; to each their own.
I, however, prefer to live to see the next sunrise and the next and the next one after that.
