A risk is needed

Why take the risk? Why not?   A life without risks is a life not lived.   Humans have a natural tendency to take risks and do things that could go wrong, it is this trait that defines us as a species and brought us to being where we are. Whether it is Columbus wanting to find a western route to India, and intern finding a new land mass, or if it is your own decision to go after that hot girl and intern meeting your future wife. Every one has his or her own risks and decisions to those risks. One person might decide to take the opportunity to go on a life changing trip, and an other person might turn down the same opportunity, the difference in the two people leis in how they take their risks and if the have the fight or flight instinct, which both actually help humanity go forward. One striving to discover, and further human knowledge, the other to survive, and further ensure humanity's pass into time.

I take my own risks in a manner that suits me, whether it is financial, physical, intellectual, or in comfort. Comfort being a very important one for me. How? Well are you comfortable at home? and would you take the risks to step out of that comfort zone? By moving to an other country or by going on a long trip. Going somewhere to improve your life in the future, so you can lead a better life, or provide better for your children. Or do you stay at home, set in your perfect little world, good job, pay rent, pay-off car, and dog running around, and stay in that little bubble your entire life and do not strive to get more do more and see more.

The person who decides to leave his little bubble and go out to strive further for him self and his future, will get more out of life, will have a richer life, not in wealth but in experience, and will love his life more than the person still sitting at home watching TV. So who are you? The fighter or the fly'er?

Be the fighter, fight through life, get more out of it, and live!
