It's totally unfair to the new person we meet/bring into our lives but this does happen.
That's mainly one of the reasons why I'm scared to death to enter into another relationship with someone new.
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But, risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing at all.
The person who risk nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live and love.
Chained by their certitudes, they are a slave. They have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
