ThE RiSk CaLlEd LiFe.....!!!

i found this somewhere on the www...and would like to plagiarise this...its so true...

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 feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss.
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.
The person who risks nothing dies nothing, has nothing and is nothing.
They say they avoid suffering and sorrow,
But they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live...
Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves.
They have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

First thing that i heard when i walked into work today was that Heath Ledger was found dead at his residence...a massuese and his housekeeper found him midday american time yesterday...first my reaction was that of shock..i mean..a 28 year old hot fit actor..suddenly dead...(apparently no foul play ivolved...but just mere drug overdose...).....
these are things that make you wonder...well it certainly makes me wonder...how uncertain life is..and how i have no clue if ill live the day to see the sunrise tommorrow.....I have certain stigmas (mental stigma) from certain incidents....that came flooding back to mind....neway....i just saw this film at the cinemas last sunday (20th Jan) starring heath ledger...its just so hard to bilieve its true...

Not that great a start to a day i guess...but whatever....i guess th eworld mourns the loss of a hot young ozzie actor...my reaction was somewhat similar when the long exiled Paki president Benazir Bhutto was killed a while back...i mean..she had just returned to her country after a long time...and met her end in a bomb explosion not long after....

Theres so much that i mean to do or see before im tied down with more responsibilities...and grow too old to do things my own way...so much...i wonder if i will be able to do all that...

quiet an abstract post this is i guess....but it does sincerely mimic what i suddenly felt at this moment of time....
