I believe that with the incredible influx of information, photos, and videos somehow somewhere in our brains we have this illusion that we've done a lot in our lives. Due to the fact that I've "seen" so much on some level I believe that I've walked on Mars, blown the horn of Gondor, ridden in a hot air balloon, and captured Jack the Ripper. When in actuality I have to work up a fare amount of courage just to get on an airplane or ask if a store is hiring. So this is a little shout to the men (and women) who actually did things. Such as walk around in the woods, shoot bears, and carry around their heads. I think that counts as doing something.
