Can you win against a dragon?

Too often, I've seen tourists ignore big blatant signs in their own native language that read, ‘Do not enter'. But enter, they do. Sometimes they get lucky, while other times, not so much. And I'm not speaking from a ‘high and mighty’ place, because I myself have ignored instructions and had to pay the price. One person posted a question to r/askreddit, asking which unwritten rules tourists always seem to ignore when they are on vacation abroad. There is a whole variety of answers from people l…

Every once in a while, it's good to get out of the house and get in touch with nature. The great outdoors can teach us a lot about ourselves that we would never learn in a room with recycled air that has barely touched a tree in its life. I don't know what it is, but I always have compelling realizations about myself when I'm near a tree, a trail, a little creek, or even better, all of the above.
