RISK
Author unknown
To laugh is to risk
appearing the fool
To weep is to risk
appearing sentimental
To reach out to others
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
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 do nothing.
The person who risks
nothing,
does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
They may avoid
suffering and sorrow,
but they cannot learn,
feel, change, grow, love, live.
Only the person who
risks is free
