Dumbest life decision Besides making a bad life decision that cost him his life, he also got the opportunity to take a step back

Dumbest life decision Besides making a bad life decision that cost him his life, he also got the opportunity to take a step back but decided to dive back in immediately:


There is an island called "North Sentinel" which is home to 150 natives who vehemently refuse all contact with the outside world.

This rule makes sense, as these human beings are not accustomed to the diseases of the modern world, and any contact could lead to contamination that would be fatal to their small tribe.


But this didn't stop John Allex Chau, a 27-year-old preacher, from travelling to the island to preach about Jesus Christ

He was showered with arrows which, fortunately for him, all missed their target.
Logically, he decided to return the following day for a second attempt.
A completely dumb decision, as the poor man would never leave the island alive.
Didn’t he think God was maybe sending him a divine message the first time the arrows missed his head?

It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. A Woman in Berlin (Secker and Warburg, pp. 284, 15s) tells the story of a single German woman of middle-class family, living in the Neu-Kölln district of Berlin. This district has not...
