Fire Walking anyone?

    Hmmm...all the extreme esoteric practices I've seen...nobody consider it safe. They usually had others with them for help if something goes wrong.

    Thus, I would call it 'foolish' if someone didn't follow and designated safety procedures.

    Fear is very relative. For example, I remember my 2 year old had this fear of walking the length of a 10 foot beam that was about 2 feet off the ground. Every time we visit that park that had that beam...he was scared to walk on it even though many other children happily played on it, ran on it, jumped on it and so on. His words were often the same...I'm scared I will fall.

    One day for no apparent reason, he just did it. The next visit to the park, he played on other things he had been scared to play on too. Yet, I'm not saying my kid that was 2 years old at that time could then effectively trade the Emini Futures profitably with very large position sizes. :cool:
