प्रश्न

Answer the following question.

Why is an adventure, which is risky, also pleasurable?

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

Adventure is risky but pleasurable. Though it presents great difficulties, a man takes delight in overcoming such hurdles. Everest is the highest, the mightiest, and many attempts have been made to climb it. According to the author, when the summit is climbed, there is the feeling of “exhilaration, the joy of having done something, the sense of a battle fought and won”. There is a feeling of victory and of happiness. The physical conquest of a mountain is only one part of the achievement. It is followed by a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. The experience is not merely physical, but it is emotional and spiritual also.
