RISKS

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 and is nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, change, grow, love or live. Chained by their attitude they are slaves, they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free.
