Risk Taking

There is a certain risk in the actions we choose to take, not necessary in the sense of bringing harm to our lives, but also affecting the decisions which soon to be made, the impression of others and the self-consciousness. When we are saying this particular incident or act is dangerous and that it might cost us our lives, where else in this world is safe and there is no such word as “danger”? When we are telling the others how dangerous the outside world is, as the unexpected events may take place anytime and anywhere, how sure are we that such unwanted incidents would not happen in the house, where our home sweet home is? There are indeed different categories of danger, where it may be due to natural occurrences or human acts and each of them has their very own role in this universe, creating the particular waves of mortality and natality. Risk is essential, does not matter who we are, what we do and where we are; a businessman takes the necessary risk to make his company well-known, a patient decided to go for the fifty percent in order to survive, a scientist goes through trial and error so that the truth can be found; all and all, one main purpose is to create our future, to bring ourselves forward and to survive in this world. Risks are not as scary as we think it can be, nor it is as dangerous as we think it would be, for it is the perspectives of ours which make it sounds like one and seem to be one.
