The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing


To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
to cry is to risk appearing sentimental and soft.
to reach out to another is to risk involvement
to show up and expose your feelings is to risk exposing your inherent 
yourself
to  place your ideas, your dreams, your desires before people, is to risk loss,
to love is to risk you might not be loved in return
to live is to risk failure,
to  show strength is to risk showing weakness,
to show jealousy is to risk killing someone,
to dislike is to risk loosing friends,

To gossip about someone is to risk you being gossiped about,
the greatest  hazard in life is to risk nothing,
the person who risks nothing gets nothing,
has nothing, wants nothing, and is nothing.
he may avoid suffering , pain , jealousy, sorrow, and thinking,
he does not grow because of being afraid to risk, he does not learn,
he does not live, he does not love ,he has sold, forfeited freedom, integrity,
he is  a slave, chained by safety, locked away by fear
because only a person who is willing to risk not knowing the
cause of his result is free.
he does not care what he risks but does the risks still.
