This urge for adventure can be facilitated by going beyond the old to the new. We need to use our intelligence to actually evaluate things based on merit, not just reject something solely because it is old or accept something solely because it is new. Many things that are old can be beneficial and many things that are new can be harmful – and we use our intelligence to complement our sense of adventure; that is how our life can actually become better.
