Living on the edge


What does living on the edge means to you? It was reported in today’s Channel News Asia that Frenchman Alain Robert, dubbed ‘The French Spiderman’ scaled a top Hong Kong hotel on Tuesday. With no safety rope attach during the climb, one bad move would see the man free falling to certain death. Alain Robert is no stranger to many people; some wondered why he chooses such dangerous acts. It is certainly not worth the money and I suppose most people wouldn’t trade money or fame for such human death defying feats. There are of course those who constantly feel the urge to challenge the human limits. Some called it thrill seekers. No one knows for sure how far Alain will goes with regards to pursuing this philosophy of his. Lets hope someday he would call it quits and share his experiences and life struggle with the younger generations.

So back to the question, what does living on the edge means to you? Take look at the above photo shot. A toilet builds on the edge of the high-rise cliff? It takes courage to build such a toilet and it certainly takes even greater courage to relief oneself in it.
