The term 'YOLO' has merit
The term 'YOLO' has merit
Within reason and calculated risk, of course, but it's best not to let life pass you by.
Dumb sounding term, no question, and often used in jest, but I've come to accept it.
So, remember kids, YOLO.

Let life pass with or without traumatic experience? The YOLO lesson skip too easy the role of luck having in every single jump, and lucky is what it is, one winner and a lot of losers left behind. Unpopular is actually accept to be born under the losers lines, everyone wants to feel winners without shame.
I'm not suggesting to YOLO off a cliff without any plan. There should always be some forethought and understanding of risk, reward, and luck.
Also, traumatic experience, as awful as it can be, can help us learn and grow. You might not YOLO the same twice if you died the first time.
Thats the lie as my opinion, about the learn and grow. Trauma don't always make you grow but actually most of trauma take you back, eats your years, lock you inside mentals institutes for example. Even the basic reward can strike you down, its all about luck, lose or win.
I don't entirely disagree. I'd prefer to avoid trauma of any kind. It is often detrimental, but not always. Depending on the type or severity, it can spell doom, or be a point of failure that becomes a lesson.
