How do you know
if you never have tried?
pushing limitations
or just along for the ride?
Have you ever done
a hundred and ten?
the lines look like dots
hell hinting, just when?
Have you ever bluffed out
and pushed to the end?
burned every card
every dollar, too spend?
Have you failed
and learned from the tale?
felt death at your shoulder
like your coffin's been nailed?
And have you truly lived
the thrill of each day?
or my dear friend
have you let safety
get in the way?

The world used to let you make mistakes to learn from, today, your life is so precious they will crucify you for risking it :/ (At least in the US)
I grew up without bicycle helmets, seat-belts, safety warnings, they used to just tell us, "don't be stupid" and if you were, that was all on you! I guess, that could be my generation's motto ;D
Yes, I have pushed my limitations, that's how I know, they exist ;D
