|
| 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 failure. |
|
|
| But risk must be taken |
| because the greatest hazard in life |
| is to risk nothing. |
|
|
| If you risk nothing |
| and do nothing, |
| you dull your spirit. |
|
|
| You may avoid |
| suffering and sorrow, |
| but you cannot learn, |
| feel, |
| change, |
| grow, |
| love, |
| and live. |
|
|
| Chained by your attitude, |
| you are a slave. |
| You have forfeited |
| your freedom. |
|
|
| Only if you risk, |
| are you free. |
