The call of the calling
What is an adventure? Something fun? Adrenaline perhaps? The rush? The energy?
Does one seek adventure or does one need adventure?
Either way, why would anyone want an adventure?
Disenchantment? Disillusionment? Boredom? Monotony? Broadly, this is about dissatisfaction with the present? Maybe the individual is generally happy but still seeks something out?
What would be the degree of disillusionment - the point where one seeks or feels that one needs the adventure, no matter how you define this adventure?
Could, then adventure be not just about adrenaline but simply movement? Movement from the current? Movement away from present?
Is it then about creating a future? Then is it about having a control over the future, trying to shape it in a more desired way? Coming, perhaps, from the dissatisfaction of not having a say in the present?
What, then, leads the individual to actually making a move? What knocks the individual off the edge or into making a movement? Is it an overnight realisation? Does it take build up? Then what happens? What is the point? Is there a name for it?
Maybe call it a tipping point - bereft of any positive or negative connotations. Maybe they are happy but still seek or need a different life (why would they?) or maybe they are unhappy (at a very basic definition) and seek or need a different life?
Maybe they rise to a challenge or an occasion? Like one day the axe falls and things change and they change too - they now need to seek out a different life?
Or perhaps they have been happy in the traditional sense but there have been bubbles brimming below the surface for some reason?
What causes the push over the tipping point? What causes the start of that push? Something natural? Something unnatural?
How does one define that start of that push? What is that word called then?
