To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your 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 believe 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, has nothing, is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
-Hugo Prather-
Ah... yes... Or maybe not... To take a risk is to put oneself in uncertainty.
Despite its transience, I still don't like uncertainty.
I like to know where I am,
Who I am,
What I am going to be.
