The Game of Risk
I got to know the game of "risk" through my friends, and i finally got to witness the game in play. In short, it is a game of world domination, filled with strategies, wit and a little bit of luck. After a series of attacks, alliances and an accident that causes the little army figurines to flip all over the place, i felt the game is interesting, fun and sort of life-related.
Point is, our live are filled with risks and decisions to be made. Some we took and reap the rewards, some we took and suffer from its consequences, others we simply avoid when we feel it is not worth the effort. Whenever we work, play, invest, buy things, and doing other more mundane activities, we just have to take some chances at one point.
Even when we get the thrills and the fun out of taking chances. Roller coaters, bungee jmping, sky diving, skating and all other activities that you can name that bring a lot of fun inexchange with posing some form of danger. It is kinda odd that things that are more fun tend to be more dangerous than it looks.
Once my debate trainer told me, "Don’t be a spectator in life". In a way it is true. Living the life is so much better than seeing it happen. Next time i want to try my hands on the game some other time.
