Risk

To laugh is to risk looking like a fool

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental

To reach out for another is to risk involvement

To show feeling is to risk revealing true self

To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss

To love is to risk rejection

To live is to risk dying

To hope is to risk despair

To try is to risk failure

But risks must be taken because one of the greatest danger in life is to risk nothing

Those who risk nothing, do nothing, achieved nothing,

become nothing

They may avoid suffering and sorrow

But they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love or even live.

Chained by their certainties they are slaves

they have forfeited their freedom.

Only a person who risks all that he cannot keep to gain that which he can never lose.....

is truly free
