Run The Risk

Saturday 17th of May 2025 and you know what if I'm being honest I've come to the realization that life you know although it's a pretty subjective experience it's kind of like it's better to live life you know with the willingness to kind of like run the risk of getting hurt physically,

emotionally, psychologically, mentally because life is gonna hurt regardless. Of course it is unfair or I prefer to use the word uneven, you know, it's gonna hurt regardless. There are gonna be certain

things that are gonna happen and so what do I mean when I say running the risk of kind of like getting hurt? There are all things that we desire from life, right? All things that we desire. There could be material things, there could be like, I don't know,

I could go into detail, but I don't wanna be here kind of like recording for hours and hours. I've got places to be and things to do. And yeah, like, it's one of those situations where, you know, in life there are things that we want and there are things that kind of like complete us, but they lie on the other end of a hurdle

that could potentially hurt us, right? And the thing is, we are now beginning to cultivate a culture that avoids pain and avoids suffering, especially in kind of like this world where we are consistently bombarded with situations that can basically kind of like either tame,

you know, can either kind of like tame us down or they can basically kind of like, you know, suck the dopamine out of us so that we don't feel anything at all. Again, there's the big word, you know, there's a big buzzword, mental health, depression.

We don't feel anything, we don't feel anything at all, because we don't wanna feel pain. But I feel like pain completes us, suffering completes us. You know, getting hurt completes us. Like Little Sims, like UK rapper Little Sims once said, like, you know, I don't wanna be the one to doctor this, but if you can't feel pain, then you can't feel the opposite.

And so I'm trying to say that really and truthfully in life. Not only should we embrace pain We should also run the risk of getting hurt Because through this kind of that process through this way of living we are able to effectively kind of live life wholesomely and also, you know kind of like enjoy the possibility of obtaining the things that we want. And, you know, if we're lucky, actually getting the things that we want out of life.
