TO RISK
To
laugh...
is to risk appearing the fool
To weep...
is to risk appearing sentimental.
To
reach out of another...
is to risk involvement
To expose feelings...
is to risk exposing
our true self
To place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd...
is to risk 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 at all...
is to risk failure
But to risk we must,
Because the greatest hazard in life
is to risk nothing.
The man or woman who risks nothing,
DOES NOTHING,
HAS NOTHING,
IS NOTHING.
