Those crazy "explorers"
During AP World History, I think there have been a couple of times where we have seen some crazily reckless explorers. I am specifically referring to the Malayo-Indonesians who have reached Madagascar and the people who found the Easter Islands in the middle of nowhere. We always- no wait, I'll check myself. We usually say that our voice of reason binds us. We would think that our voice of reason would say "Hey, are you crazy? Why would you venture in the middle of nowhere, in the grand open ocean, to maybe die at sea, when you have a family and a home here?". However, this was apparently not the case for these people thirsty for adventure. I wonder what shaped the reasoning of these people. What pushed them to embarking upon this trip that had "danger" and "fatal" spelled on it all over.
