Boys are Different, Part Four

My boy has a continual drive to test the reach of his physical ability. Getting hurt does not represent a limit to that ability, only a cause for recurrent testing. For if one changes the smallest variable in the testing parameters one will get varying outcomes that may or may not include injury. Injury is not a natural consequence that will inhibit dangerous behavior, it is something to be endured and pushed beyond to find the absolute extremity of one's physical, psychological, and emotional boundaries. And it's important to find these boundaries so that they can be stretched and tested even more. Each test holds the promise of something as of yet unaccomplished; formerly unobtainable by any other boy across all time and space.
