Risks: The Spices of Life

I believe in the saying that life without risks is not worth living for. I daresay, Risks are the spices of life.

In choosing our path to take, we are taking a risk for we don't really know what's that path has enstored for us. Nobody can know what tomorrow will bring and nobody could truthfully say that our decisions for tomorrow has no risks attached to it.

Just like choosing our careers, we could not really know what kind of future and opportunities it would afford us. Sure, lawyers have high pays, managers work in banks or companies, teachers in school and navy's in the ships. But we are not certain if we would be included in the list of the general, that we get to work in the place meant for our chosen careers. We are taking a risk everytime we make decisions and that what makes life exciting and worth living for. Investing our money in business is a risk and if we refrain ourselves from investing for fear of making a failure then we cannot know nor taste success. In the affairs of the heart, risk is also an imposing factor. If we learned to love somebody we are taking the risk that he/she may not love us in return. Or, if they return our feelings, the risk of losing them to somebody else is still there. Life is complex and so does the people..so does their heart.

Sharing ourselves with others in the spirit of friendship is also a risks. We could be hurt in the process for we would open ourselves to the vulnerability of rejection and betrayal.

But as we always say, life is taking risks. Its the spices that makes life worth truly living.
