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 feeling is to risk exposing yourself
To place your ideas, your 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 the risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing
People may avoid suffering and sorrow but they simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live…
Chained by certitudes they’re slaves
Only a person who risks is free
