...risk and character

Journal,
It takes so little to make someone’s day. A buck or two in quarters scattered on the path encourages the street-sweeper to head to the nearest slot with his stash, because his luck has changed! The little fortune fairy, Terina


Dropped back down into the midst of mayhem, I listen to the travails of other riders who have traveled before me. What if we all had access to the amusement ride's handy-dandy warning gauge that detailed the level of difficulty and identifies the pain potential prior to attempting each problem?

Journal,
Teens are high risk. The teenage insurance risk is that the fourth “incident” on the car, (irrespective of the fact that none of them were her fault, and all of them were paid completely by the offenders insurance,) nontheless, have upped our annual premium $800.00.


Initially, the wand on the gauge flickers toward enjoyment and effortless refinement, but after speaking to someone who has actually taken the ride, the wand would swing back and forth wildly between alarm and hysterical fear—all due to a dawning comprehension of life’s authentic degree of difficulty.

Reality bite: How one adapts to change is essence of true character.
