I had a friend who visited me from out of town and I wanted to show him the CN Tower. It was one of the tallest structures on the earth. So I thought it would offer a(n)
36 sight.
We were standing in line for 45minutes to enjoy the
37 up to the watch point. When we got there, we went around the
38 of the tower and saw the hard wire fence
39 to the structure serving as a barrier. We went back inside to look for the glass floor that provided a direct view
40 . As soon as both of us
41 , we stopped before walking onto it. We found that our legs began to
42 . I stopped for a minute considering the step, taking several seconds to
43 the edge before moving.
And then I had a thought in my mind：“It is far
44 compared to any other floor in this building. There is no real danger to me — it’s
45 an illusion. Look at all the people standing on it, and think about those who have stood on it before.”I began to
46 that step onto the glass floor. I didn’t look down —
47 not for a few minutes.
I walked on the
48 and looked around and thought about how
49 the experience was. I even found myself jumping up and down. There was no
50 , and it was certainly an illusion.
I considered how many things in our lives we
51 and exactly how many of them are actually illusions. I thought about all the things we
52 ourselves from doing because we have
53 ourselves into thinking there’s risk. I thought about all the things that I still have yet to do that appeared
54 . I was glad to discover that although fear isn’t a stranger to me, my desire to live a life without
55 has a much stronger pull.
