Hmm. I don't know. I am glad they're not harming anyone else, but also -- like, I have kids. And if they were to get into this sort of thing, I'd at the least be like "Well, that's STUPID. Why put yourselves in harm's way deliberately like this. Stressing me and mom out. Do something that helps someone else instead."

That’s fair, but there’s a way to say that without bringing “deserving” into it. As you did.

For my part, there’s a big part of me that still is moved by Tennyson: “As tho’ to breathe were life!”

It did. The kid went on to spend the $10k on a new motorcycle.
