Seamus HeaneyThere is risk and truth to yourselves and the world before you.
About This Quote
If you are not willing to take the risk of doing something, then there is no point in doing it. There is always a risk that you will fail. However, if you are willing to take the risk, then you have nothing to lose. Risk can be defined as being reckless or doing something out of fear instead of out of conviction.
On the other hand, truth is something that is aligned with the reality of the situation. Even if you are taking a risk, you should be doing it for a reason, not because you are afraid. Some people do not realize that they should never take risks because they are afraid.
They are afraid to fail and they are afraid of anything unknown. It is true that there is truth in what you feel at the time, but it does not mean that what you feel at that time is what is best for you. Sometimes feeling something strongly is not the best choice for your future self.
