To laugh is to risk ..........
Dec 25^th, 2024 at 11:15am

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and 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, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free. ~Leo Buscaglia

And what has Christianity taught Europeans?

It taught Germans to become Rednecks via a Prophet and conduct War.

It teaches France to become Gay towards a Messiah and conduct Suicide.

It will teach the Vatican that Gold is above God.
It will make Italy commit genocide in God's name written in Gold.

It will show the way for the Greeks to make murder for Byzantium against a fellow EU member.

...you gotta laugh. Wink
