Risk

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,has nothing,and is nothing
They may avoid suffering and sorrow,but they cant learn, feel change, grow, love, love,or live
Chained by their attitudes,they are slaves,they have forfeited their freedom,
Only a person who risks is free..
