Entry 77, Why Take Risks?

People always take different types of risks. I believe the reason why people actually attempt to take risks is because they believe that the outcome could be better than what they currently have. By what I mean is that they are willing to sacrifice the things they could lose, in order to have the chance of possibility of gaining or wining something much greater later. There are risks such as stock market, or when you rob a bank, these could all result in physical risks, and the stock market could result in the loss of a great amount of money, but it could gain a great amount of wealth. I believe that Krakauer's rock climbing risk taking paragraph could also be used among common risk takers. When I took my risks of losing a great friend when I stole the girl he liked unfairly, I believe that I thought the gain would be alot greater than the loss. I believe the future relationship I could possibly have, would be so much greater than whatever I lost. It was great, it was the greatest risk I have ever taken and I believe that risk taking is a part of everyone's lives. What is fun about life, when you never take any risks right? The things I said does indeed match up with what Krakauer said, and I believe that everyone must take risks to make life more interesting.
