The more a person seeks to secure himself
Søren Kierkegaard: “The more a person seeks to secure himself against every contingency, the more he loses the possibility of living.” (Paraphrased from Works of Love, 1847)
quoting from David Senra , twitter page
"From studying the outcome of past expeditions, he believed that those that burdened themselves with equipment to meet every contingency had fared much worse than those that had sacrificed total preparedness for speed."
Roald Amundsen, who prioritized speed and minimalism in his successful 1911 South Pole expedition, contrast with Robert Falcon Scott’s overburdened and ultimately tragic attempt.
