!RISKS!
To laugh is to risk appering the fool. To weep is to risk apperig sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvemet. 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 beacause the greates hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, and has nothing, is nothing. He/She may avoid suffering and sorrow but he/she cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live. Chained by his or hers certitudes he/she is a slave; he/she has forfeited his/her freedom Only a person who risks is free.
