But adventure is not adventure if success is guaranteed! What fun is a game that's impossible to lose? I don't think that we should think of these things in terms of a duality of adventure vs. safety (although I know I phrased it like that myself), I just think we should be safe enough that we're free to adventure. In terms of relationships, I think we need to learn to be emotionally self-reliant enough that even "losing" won't destroy us. It's a dangerous thing for your self-worth and identity to be completely dependent on another person.
