For me, CD is indeed an adventure. But just one reflection of many that are all consistent with my overall “strategy” for living life, rather that it being an “isolated” issue.

I think everyone forms a “strategy” to play the game of life. (whether we are conscious of it or not). There are “victims”, “bullies“, “players”, con artists, moralists, whiners, etc. Since our basic personalities are fully formed by the age of 5-6 years old, it is logical to assume we adopt this strategy at about the same time. I believe that we continue to use this strategy throughout our lives. Some of us are just better at concealing it than others.

I do not believe any of our behaviors and actions can be defined or attributed to any single cause. It is a combination of inherent traits, nature, nurture, bias and perceptions unique to each of us and influenced by our personal experiences.

I happen to have an extremely curious nature. So I am drawn to creativity and adventure, and tend to rebel against structure, conformity and authority. My behavior and actions have little to do with following hidden agendas. They have everything to do with exploring my curiosity.
