A slight digression: at our ward YC this past weekend a man I know spoke of his experience of having half his face blown off in a hunting accident. It happened when he was 12. His cousin shot him at nearly point-blank range in the side of the head with a shotgun.
He wanted to impress on the kids the importance of managing risks in their lives. Not to be scared, but to be calculating in the risks they take. It’s a tough sell to 15-17 year old boys, which he acknowledged.
The most powerful part of his discussion was on how he learned to know and like who he is on the ‘inside’. He gain much of his insight during and after months of blindness and being strapped down while they rebuilt hit face. Influential stuff.
