To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your feelings is to risk
exposing your true self.


To place your ideal, 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.


Yet risks must be taken
Because the greatest hazard in life is risking
NOTHING!
The person who risks nothing
Does nothing
Has nothing
Is nothing.

Self-realisation is harder than Self-sacrifice.
