When it comes to being an extremist most people think of extreme sports such as sky diving, MMA fighting, boxing, wrestling, and so on but is there an area of life that you consider yourself an extremist because you live it to the fullest every day? I would have to say for my self that the one thing in life that I devote every bit of myself into is being a mom and taking care of my family. One definition of extremist is one that resorts to measures beyond the norm, so taking that definition into mind in what way are you an extremist in your life?

I would say I am extremest when it comes to helping others and having empathy for other's situations. Most people don't care about others, but are more into themselves. I feel this is a sad state of affairs, and that if more people actually cared about another human being our world would definately be a better place.

I agree with you rewardsinlife, I can relate to you with this very much. For me the hard part for years was not letting people take advantage of my wanting to help, it was a hard balance for me to learn. Today I do as much as I possibly can for other but have my limits if I start to feel I am being takin advantage of just because of that. I think it's a great thing to be an extremist about and thanks for your response!
