Life Can Be Risky!
January 20, 2008 · Written by Heather Juma
- To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
- To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
- To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
- To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
- To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss.
- To love is to risk not being loved in return.
- To live is to risk dying.
- To hope is to risk despair.
- To try is to risk failure.
- But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
- The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
- They may avoid suffering and sorrow; but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
- Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave, they have forfeited their freedom.
- Only a person who risks is free.
