Life is full of risks. Some you have to take.
The following picture is a pre-existing risk on top of a peanut trailer.....
Avoiding this risk carelessly, creates a bigger risk, of falling 16" and .....
But, there are things in life you just dont see coming. Things happen.
You cant shelter your family from all risks, preexisting conditions or not. At some point, you can make your family member so risk averse, that they will be afraid to live.
Life is a series of compromises. And choices. Making the best educated 'thought through' choice can enhance your quality of life and not leave you afraid to live.
A song said, "You cant please everybody, sometimes you gotta please yourself. "
A carefully thought through choice does take into consideration the worst that could happen and "unintended consequences", as well as the impact on others.
An unknowingly made friend today just might save your life 5 years down the road, and an unknowingly made enemy might cost you everything that potential 5 or so years later.
Life is a series of risks. You have to take a few every day you live. It just is what it is.
More than once, I told my brat, that's hot... will burn you..... will hurt.... better you dont touch.... u ain't gonna like it...
Little SOB did it anyway.
I suppose he took after me, just sayin...
The preexisting condition I mentioned earlier, that made the top of the peanut trailer interesting.
