To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas, dreams before the 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 risk 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 – he may avoid suffering and sorrow but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave – he has fortified his freedom
Only a person who risks is free.

This is a Contribution from an "unknown writer" given to me by Mr. Walter Walker

He gave me this writing for me to read and for me to lear and understand the philosophy behind the words.

In live as we know it, there are events that come to us either by accident or on purpose. On an event such as choices to be made, confusion over decision, one is forced to think about the consequences of each of the choices they will make ( or what new choices may emerged ). These consequences are considered to be known as "risk".

Some people will try to choose the lesser risk, while some others are willing to take the greater risk for a better outcome in their lives.

No matter where we go and when we go, there are always be the "risk factor" even when we see no choices, the risk factor will still be there waiting. SO basically those who try to live without any risk will not have a complete "live" as risk it self is a part of being human. Who would want to take a risk for someone who you really love? Who wouldn't risk him self to step forward when an opportunity comes to him that may only be once in his life time? What kind of a mother who does not risk their live when giving birth?

Risk is something that we have to live with until the day we no longer exist as mortals. Now in this world there are no such thing as a "safe game" everything we do, always has a risk, its just a matter of small or big risk but either way they are still called risk.

One who risk their life to save other people is quite noble, but is one who risk their life to earn more in a gambling table also noble? each of those has an emerging risk yet to come. Risk works as "The Physics Law of Cause and Effect" that is one of the most ancient rule in the universe.

If you avoid risk, they will always come to you and never stop. You become somewhat paranoid, live in fear, as the poetry says.. a slave to your own life and your own mind.

If you challenge a risk, you may succeed several times, but eventually break you in time

So I'm not saying that we should avoid them or challenge them, but we have the ability to think and re-think what is best for us, when to take the risk and when to avoid ( find the lesser risk )

Risk is a part of nature and life, in some word its part of "The Game Rules" aren't we all playing the game as humans?
