10. Trying To Kiss A Reflection Of The Moon In A Lake
Perhaps nothing could be more embarrassing than dying while trying to complete and over-the-top romantic gesture; that's like life calling total bulls**t on you. But that was the case with Middle Ages Chinese Poet and Courtier Li Po (Li Bai) who fell overboard and drowned while trying to kiss the moon's reflection in a lake. Romantic, maybe. Pretty dumb? Sorry Li Po, but I have to say most definitely. And they say romance is dead. There's definitely a place in the world for gestures like Li Po's, but maybe that place isn't while suspended on a body of water. Although maybe it is. But the question is, is it
worth the risk?
