While the post is funny, I don't necessarily think most of them are enjoying it - or "feeling the rush." I think this is just the first time they've ever been uncomfortable in their lives, and they don't know how to manage it, internally.

These are college aged kids, or teachers, or housewives, or mamas boys. These aren't people who skydive, or take any kinds of risks really. These are people who panic in college when the teacher says something they disagree with.

So now, when they're being confronted with something that makes them feel uncomfortable, they're panicking. They're wishing death on children if they're playing at the park because they're afraid, and they don't know how to manage that fear internally, because they've been allowed to avoid those feelings their whole lives.

I don't necessarily think all of them are bad people, and I don't think they're actually enjoying the fear. I think they don't know how to manage themselves, because they've never really had to.

I also think being able to manage stress is like building a muscle - you have to experience some stress, to get stronger and be able to manage it. And then you can experience more stress, and you can manage that, and get over it. And so on and so forth, until you can be a successful adult, and take the risks that life requires in order to be worth living.

And this process is supposed to start when you're young, and the stresses are small and easily managed. But because we've coddled this generation, they're losing their freaking minds at this first stressful event they can't go to their safe space to avoid.
