I'd say most people do what they do for the love of it. Look around at your drop zone or at larger BASE events... how many people are really fitting that x-treme stereotype? None to few. But the few in this world that are in it impress whuffos are generally the ones that get heard and seen the most, because they make every effort to make themselves known. Hence dayblaze videos on Youtube, etc.

Televangelists embarrass Christians, Tiesto embarrasses DJs, the list goes on... There's always someone involved in every niche of society for the wrong reasons that ends up being its representative to the rest of the world. It's very ironic.

Just had to inject some Randian ideals...

Men have been taught that the ego is the synonym of evil, and selflessness the ideal of virtue. But the creator is the egoist in the absolute sense, and the selfless man is the one who does not think, feel, judge or act. These are function of the self.
