You can't prepare for everything life's going to throw at you. And you can't avoid danger. It's there. The world is a dangerous place, and if you sit around wringing your hands about it, you'll out on all the adventure.
In "Half Broke Horses," Jeannette Walls captures the essence of life's unpredictability and inherent risks. She suggests that while one cannot be fully prepared for everything life presents, it is crucial not to let fear dictate one's actions. The acknowledgment of danger is presented as a part of reality that everyone must confront rather than avoid.
Walls emphasizes the importance of embracing life's adventures despite the risks involved. Overly cautious behavior can lead to missed opportunities for growth and excitement. By accepting the presence of danger, individuals can fully engage in life's experiences rather than being paralyzed by fear.
