Risk

Risk is taken, unwittingly sometimes, by all of us in our everyday life. We
don’t even realize how many times we take these unimportant decisions
that makes the turnout, for better or for worse.

For instance, a real life risk would be whether to walk the ten minutes pace to work or take the car which will save us a few minutes to spare in other things. We don’t really know the out-turn, anything can happen.

These are the kind of gamble we take constantly in our lives. However, we also tend to consider risks that can be a lot more difficult to deal with, not
in vain, these harder choices can drastically change our lives, decision like
moving to another country or getting married and having children.

Personally, I believe these are our greatest risk-taken choices in our lifetime.

We live in a world surrounded by scary situations, frightful
and dangerous realities alternated with beauty, delicacy and love, exposed
to us by the media around the world, hence the impression of
being safe and sound but also idle and bored.

On the other hand the challenge involved in taking such risks or at best the
lack of it can be also very strong. Seemingly, ‘regret’ is a feeling we try very hard to avoid, yet it’s constantly allusive in our minds.

Certainly, the decisions we take affect our whole existence, changing our
ways as we grow old, given us the maturity and wisdom needed to take
even more risks. After all who said life was easy.
