"...Let me get at this puzzling possibility by starting from the addiction end of Zuckerman's findings (Concerning adrenaline junkies, extreme sports participants). If God created us to crave behaviors that invite addiction, damage, and even death, what important achievements that require the same temprament could He have in mind for us?"
(The Danger Habit, Mike Barrett; p. 29)

Hmmmmmmmmm...maybe St Brendan just had a "danger habit."

he he... I like that... Brendan the adrenaline junky... may pergrinatio was the extreme sport of the 6th C? The question is an interesting one, adrenaline = a created part of humanity to enable us to live the dangerous life we are called to? endorphins = a God given way of coping with the suffering that goes with it?
