Another way of looking at the way we live our lives.

             If we seek to live life lightly, we prefer to be practical. Being practical means facing life’s issues as they occur, say for example you’re out on a beach for a swim. Because you’re up for the lighter things in life, you simply take the shallow waters and swim just within your feet’s reach on the bottom; you keep your head up, dodging waves as you swim. You’re enjoying the experience but you never get to see the bottom at the sea floor.

             Being deep and impractical is daring to hold your breath for a dive. You’re free from the waves and thus see the beauty beneath the corals on the seabed. There are risks involved but tell me of a risk free existence once you are living in this world.

    the fun is in the risks.. but we all have some risks we are willing to take, and others which terrify us.

    Good stuff! I am afraid of heights, but I have done things in spite of this that had I not done I would live in regret.

  • Christine Ramsay on Feb 14, 2010

    We all take risks to get what we want out of life. It strengthens our characters. A good piece.

    Thanks to share this one.

  • LoveDoctor on Feb 15, 2010

    Great post. If you don’t take a risk you might be missing something good so I am a firm believer that you should get out of your comfort zone once in a while. A thought-provoking article and well-written.

  • papaleng on Feb 15, 2010

    I definitely agree with your views, At times we have to take riske so as to gain success.

  • Sharif Ishnin on Feb 15, 2010

    I am firm believer in calculated risks. As long as I take responsibility and do not burden anyone else when things go wrong, I’ll do it.

  • giftarist on Feb 15, 2010

    Very interesting thought. Thanks, kabayan.

  • standingproud on Feb 15, 2010

    awesome way of looking.
    you cant get their if you dont take that step.

  • Patrick Regoniel on Feb 15, 2010

    Yes, you’re right. Taking risks has its rewards. I always face risk when I scuba dive, but the exhilaration I feel after every dive is immeasurable. Of course, I don’t hold my breath. Nice post kabayan. Don’t take too much risk flying. I think that’s more risky.

  • 8Shei8 on Feb 16, 2010

    So true! We never fully see the beauty of life through the eyes of fear.

  • Geomorphosis on Feb 18, 2010

    Risks are part of life. Well said!

  • lillyrose on Feb 22, 2010
