Day before night at the station...or i guess on the way to there...something struck me...wanting to be spoken of again...fear...a legacy passed down...This fear that i speak of is different from the fear that brings cowardice...
this is the fear for ones loved ones, of one's own economic security...a fear of what the future will bring...which makes us take guarded decisions...and play safe.
It is said that for one to be an entrepreneur the setting is easiest for someone who comes from a business background or for someone who is a pauper...one has something to fall back on if he fails...the other has nothing to lose anyways (do not get stuck vehmently to opposition of this generalisation).
It is we of the middle class...the salaried people who find it difficult to break out of our routine and take that leap...held back by 'what if'...
Not that it is an unreasonable fear...yet it oft makes us be too reasonable with life...sometimes a little recklessness is what keeps the excitement going...
sometimes that is ;)

There is a dialog from Star Wars :
"Careful you must be when sensing the future, Anakin. The fear of loss is the path to the Dark Side...Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose."
True that... letting go of fears would include letting go of the fear of being reckless and thus losing something... risk-taking is all about not fearing the unknown... so, what recklessness have you indulged in lately?
@Alok...aah yes am actually doing something along those lines...i've given up for two months food items that i get lusty for...liquor, meat and sweets...almost three weeks into it...i'd say its proving to be not that tuff
@Dewdropdream...if you read up the scrap on respect you shall see the latest reckless activity...a mixture of trying to be friendly, and not knowing exactly what i was trying to do....didn't work out as i had hoped it would've...making me look most like a fool and a jerk...but thats how life is...
I agree..we need to hv a bit of fear to drive us in life...
Keshi.
