risking life

In front of his students, one teacher described the experience of meeting someone of former veteran soldier of World War II aviator. One day, soldiers must work on forest highway project in Myanmar.

Flight distance is quite far and long. To relieve the boredom as well as leisure, the workers were gambling with cards. Initially they bet on the currency and assets attached to the body. Well, the longer because there is no longer at stake, they bet with his life. The loser had to jump out of airplanes without a parachute. Imagine that!

"What a horrible and cruel they are!" Shouted one student heard the story. "True," replied the Master, "But with the game so it would be more fun!"

Then he continued, "You can only be grateful to live where ever risk it."
