I'm not quite to sure what this essay is supposed to be but let's do a little math... You have a SafeZone and a, uhh... Well, not really an UnsafeZone but an ExtraZone. The SafeZone is where you do what you do everyday without any qualms or fears. The ExtraZone is where you do crazy shit and possibly expand the realms of your zones. The ExtraZone is where crazy insane artistic people hangout. People who are boring and dull live in the SafeZone. So, to life a life purely of practicality and safety is to be close-minded in a way, never really wanting to step out an take the risk. The result? A zero-to-slow rate of adoption for things that are crazy radical. Do yourself a favor and dip into the Extra every once in a while. Do what you want to do in addition to what you should already be doing. Live.
